Folks who regularly exercise can lower their risk of heart attack and heart failure linked to a genetic heart condition, a new study says. People with higher levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity had lower rates of heart health problems caus…

New evidence has emerged showing that diabetes developed during pregnancy is likely an early manifestation of type 2 diabetes, triggered by the stresses pregnancy places on the body. In the largest study of its kind, University of Queensland researcher…

Lung cancer is the most common and deadly form of cancer worldwide. It is increasingly understood to be a complex genetic disease with different mutations that vary according to factors such as smoking and ethnicity. These mutations are already guiding…

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin, St James’s Hospital, and collaborating institutions have carried out the most comprehensive review to date of tools used to estimate breast cancer risk in women with a family history of the disease.

Researchers from the University of Notre Dame have published the first known detailed study of breast cancer tissue from Native American women. The study, published in npj Precision Oncology, reveals important molecular differences that may impact the …

Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and identified the biological pathways involved. The results…

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered a substantial genetic component to postpartum psychosis, a rare but severe psychiatric illness that occurs in the days to weeks after childbirth. The findings, published in Molec…

A new Columbia study has found clues of Alzheimer’s beginnings, revealing how tau filaments—protein clumps that are closely linked to memory decline in Alzheimer’s disease—get their start. The finding raises the prospect of future Alzheimer’s drugs tha…

Led by University of Tartu researchers, the largest and most comprehensive study to date has been completed on how genetic differences between individuals influence metabolism. Published in Nature, the study provides a far more detailed picture than ev…

Transposable elements (TEs), also called transposons, are DNA sequences capable of moving or replicating from one location to another within a genome. While TEs are the most significant fraction of the human genome (approximately 40–50%), only recently…
