A variant in the prealbumin gene alone is not sufficient to diagnose transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, an underdiagnosed cause of congestive heart failure, reports a new study.

Scientists appear to have discovered a way to produce a true structure of the rare but naturally-occurring anti-HIV compound Lancilactone C from start to finish.

A new study has constructed an “aging clock” for the female body – information missing from previous studies of aging. The research mapped 4 domains of biological aging – chronic inflammation, hormonal regulation, tissue fitness and lipid metabolism – that can together accurately measure female biological age.

Researchers discovered the genomic locations that contribute to the genetic risk of a chronic skin condition.

According to a study, naturally occurring variations in our genes can lead some people to store fat at the waist while protecting them from diabetes.

Researchers have developed a novel gene therapy that regulates a sodium ion channel to treat chronic pain.

Using a new method, researchers have discovered how the hepatitis C virus evades the human immune system.

Early genetic testing can improve cancer outcomes, but individuals often don’t undergo this screening if they lack a family history or can’t afford a test.

Researchers have discovered a protein that plays critical roles in alerting the body to a bacterial infection and initiating an effective immune response to fight back against the invasion.

A new report suggests that lab-on-a-chip technologies could improve the blood transfusion workflow, ensuring patients in need receive high-quality red blood cells.
