A drug can make children with the most common form of dwarfism taller—but height isn’t the same as a better life
A drug that helps children with the most common form of dwarfism grow taller has sparked an ethical debate within the dwarfism community.

Trapping cancer-driving DNA rings outside cell nucleus silences their genes, researchers find
Cells from rapidly growing, highly metastatic tumors often contain numerous rings of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). This circular DNA frequently carries oncogenes—genes that promote cancer. Researchers have long sought vulnerabilities in these DNA rings…

Researchers identify role of newly discovered genetic variant in neurodevelopmental disorder
Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have discovered the mechanisms of previously unknown changes in a gene that result in symptoms associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder. The findings underscore the importance of a critic…
