Cancer is often thought of as a single disease. Yet even tumors that arise in the same organ can follow very different ...

In preliminary experiments with mice and lab-grown cells, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have found that a protein-signaling process accelerates the work of the gene most frequently ...

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.

The trajectory of base editing has been remarkable, progressing from the laboratory to patient care, treating debilitating or terminal illnesses, in less than a decade. A type of gene editing that ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

About 40% of East Asians suffer from alcohol intolerance, known as "Asian Flush Syndrome," caused by an ALDH2 genetic ...

Scientists identify a high-altitude genetic mutation in yaks that produces ATDR, a Vitamin A metabolite that repairs myelin damage in MS and cerebral paralysis.
