A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Liège (Belgium) has detected significant amounts of DNA traps in distinct compartments of the lungs of patients who died from Covid-19.

Researchers have identified, in preclinical models, therapeutic targets for an extremely fast-moving and deadly form of pancreatic cancer, adenosquamous cancer of the pancreas (ASCP).

A scientific team including James Hutton Institute researchers has completed one of the largest genetic analysis ever done of any agricultural crop to find desirable traits in wheat’s extensive and unexplored diversity.

Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine are learning more about how a person’s genes play a role in the possibility they’ll suffer from alcoholic cirrhosis with the discovery of a gene that could make the disease less likely.

Researchers at Yale have identified a possible treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disease for which there is currently no cure or treatment. The team discovered a compound that was able to target, and bind to, an enzyme that had previously been considered “undruggable.”

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have conducted a study that has determined the role that a critical protein, called GFI1, plays in the development of hair cells.

Biological sex has a small but ubiquitous influence on gene expression — the amount of product created by a gene for cell function — in almost every type of human tissue, according to a new study published in Science.

Researchers have used nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer to gain further insights into the structure and function of Est3 from the Hansenula polymorpha telomerase

Sun-seeking behaviour is linked to genes involved in addiction, behavioural and personality traits and brain function, according to a study of more than 260,000 people.

A blood test that can identify a variety of mutations in advanced breast cancer can reliably match women to effective targeted treatments, according to results from a new clinical trial.
