An international research team of over 100 scientists has determined the full genetic sequence of the Y chromosome. The milestone study bolsters our understanding of human genetics and further improves the human reference genome that was first constructed in 2003.

Stanford Medicine scientists and colleagues create an algorithm that could help physicians better understand and target complicated brain tumors.

Bartter syndrome type 3 is the result of several structural variants in the genome. By using long-read sequencing, researchers mapped out the rare disease in unprecedented detail.

Innovative preclinical research in mice models has shown that a molecular imaging technique can reveal the presence of a protein called PD-L1 in glioblastomas – the most common type of cancerous brain tumour in adults.

A study in more than 15,000 people has found that physical fitness is linked with a lower likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation and stroke.

Women with larger breasts tend to exercise less frequently and avoid high-intensity exercise and a new study has found much-improved participation in recreational group exercises after breast reduction surgery.

A simple blood test can identify biomarkers that may predict the risk of progressive heart and kidney disease in people with Type 2 diabetes.

Microneedles and ultra-sensitive, single-molecule measurements allow for the monitoring of protein biomarkers in responses to a combination immunotherapy against melanoma.

A study of 14 astronauts suggests that even though space travel destroys red blood cells and bones, the body manages to restore them after returning to Earth thanks to the fat stored in the bone marrow.

A powerful imaging mass cytometry technique has been used for the first time to examine the kidneys of people with lupus, which could help identify drug targets and novel disease markers.
