A new study led by experts at the University of Nottingham suggests a pet gecko with an unusually high risk of tumors may be a promising model for understanding how cancer develops and spreads. The findings of the study, which are published in BMC Biol…

Some people inherit genetic changes that put them at higher risk of developing certain cancers or heart disease. A simple genetic test can identify those risks early, creating opportunities to prevent disease or detect it sooner—but only if it reaches …

Does informing people about their genetic risk of obesity help them change their habits and lose excess weight? A study published in the journal Obesity Reviews by scientists, including researchers from SWPS University, shows that knowledge about one’s…
