Your address, ancestry and gut may be steering aging in ways medicine has barely begun to map
Researchers at the Stanford School of Medicine have found that ethnicity and geography may influence human molecular makeup—from metabolism and immunity to gut microbiota and biological aging. The findings, published in Cell, illuminate the complex int…

Genetic research could help patients avoid amputations
Physicians may one day be able to identify which patients with peripheral artery disease are most likely to develop complications and intervene earlier, thanks to a Northeastern University discovery. Peripheral artery disease is a common condition in w…

Researchers successfully treat hereditary epilepsy in a mouse model
In a world first, a research team at the University of Zurich has successfully treated mice carrying an inherited form of epilepsy. The scientists used gene editing to fix faulty DNA directly in the brain cells of mice, which reduced fever-induced seiz…

Genetic risk of schizophrenia manifests in early adolescence, study shows
Research has found that children with higher genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia show decreases in frontal cortical surface area during early adolescence, in contrast to the regional expansion observed in children with low genetic susceptibility. T…

Genetic link between cannabis use and psychosis could help to identify those most at risk
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London has highlighted the distinct and shared molecular pathways linking cannabis use disorder (CUD) and psychosis, offering the potential for identifyi…

A 13-gene panel may help predict response to chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have characterized cancer cell-specific features in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tissues, identifying specific macrophage subtypes …
