DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Gene expression leading to alterations in the DNA caused by asbestos exposure may explain the development of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare and aggressive cancer. By analyzing public RNA ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...

A study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals a path of cause-effect molecular events that can lead to Alzheimer's ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms toxic tangles in Alzheimer's disease. The findings, ...

Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers found that up to nine in ten cases could be linked to the APOE gene — even ...

Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...

Post-mortem brain analysis shows decades of alcohol use significantly alter endocannabinoid gene expression in the prefrontal ...
