Patients with potentially blinding retinitis pigmentosa recover retinal sensitivity 3 years after receiving a gene therapy ...

The UB team that discovered how a gene found in 75% of us protects against neurodegeneration has now found that this same gene enhances immune function as well. The new findings were published in ...

Danicamtiv is an investigational selective agonist of cardiac myosin, intended to help myocyte contraction by enhancing ...

Parkinson's disease causes both movement and cognitive deficits, and for a long time both were thought to be caused by the ...

A team led by scientists at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Broad Institute of MIT and ...

During development, many crucial genes help organisms form properly. One of those genes is myogenic determination gene number 1 (MyoD), which can exert a powerful influence as a “genome organizer." It ...

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

A gene-editing tool that can turn genes on and off like a light switch has been developed. Turning a gene on means activating ...
