Gene regulation map reveals treatment targets for heart failure
Researchers from the University of California San Diego have created the most detailed map to date of how gene regulation breaks down in human heart failure, revealing how genes are controlled in specific cell types as the disease develops and pointing…

Chemotherapy leaves detectable DNA fingerprints in childhood tumors within 18 months
Nearly half of childhood tumors treated with common types of chemotherapy showed detectable DNA changes linked to treatment within 18 months, according to a new international study led by The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Researchers say these…

Test offers new way to personalize treatment, reduce unnecessary chemotherapy for patients with breast cancer
A new cancer diagnostic test marketed by Veracyte and developed by a group of researchers, including UNC geneticist Charles Perou, Ph.D., has been found to accurately predict whether patients with breast cancer need chemotherapy or whether hormone ther…

Exceptional memory in 80s defies simple Alzheimer’s genetic risk explanation
Many people assume that some memory decline is an inevitable consequence of getting older. But a select group of older adults, known as «SuperAgers,» reach their 80s and 90s while retaining memory performance as good as or better than that of people in…

New tool uncovers overlooked disease-linked genes by accounting for ancestry and family ties
Every person’s DNA tells a unique story. To unlock the full potential of genetic research, scientists need tools that reflect the complexity of the people they study.
