Chronic hypoxia improves glucose tolerance in mice through insulin-independent mechanisms, with red blood cells acting as a major systemic glucose sink. Increased erythrocyte production and altered ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses.

The Trade-off Between Physiological Authenticity and Experimental Convenience: Navigating the Cellular Foundation of ...

The study, published in Nature Communications, used family studies and genetically engineered mice to understand how gene defects contribute to disease.

In the 1960s and 70s, a group of chimpanzees astonished the world by learning sign language. Only two remain and one question ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different ...

It already exists in the natural world. Now, thanks to breakthroughs in genetic engineering, scientists have created ...

Preeclampsia, a complication of pregnancy that involves high blood pressure, could have led to a decline in Neanderthals' ...

Neuroscience rarely enjoys clean experiments. Most brain disorders are mosaics of risk genes, aging, lifestyle and chance that leave their origins obscured. Huntington's disease (HD) is different. It ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...
