A genetic mutation passed from mother to children in families affected by schizophrenia has now been shown to completely ...

In a recent study published on the preprint server bioRxiv*, researchers describe the evolution of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) non-structural protein 1 (NSP1).

A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors with almost no way to intervene. Researchers have now traced that ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

The androgen receptor is a key transcriptional factor for the proper sex development -- especially in males -- and the physiological balance of all the tissues that express this receptor. The androgen ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Cytarabine Dose of 36 g/m2 Compared With 12 g/m2 Within First Consolidation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Results of Patients Enrolled Onto the Prospective Randomized AML96 Study The substantially worse ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...
