There are people around us who can maintain their weight despite what they eat. This has led scientists to believe that a person's metabolism and tendency toward obesity may have genetic factors behind them. A large study sequencing the genomes of more than 1 million people acros

Novos vírus tiveram o código genético gerado pelos algoritmos Evo-1 e Evo-2, da Universidade Stanford; eles matam bactérias e podem ajudar a combater infecções resistentes a antibióticos, mas nova tecnologia também levanta receio de vazamentos e uso em ações de bioterrorismo

Researchers have identified genetic changes in malaria parasites that may reduce the effectiveness of key antimalarial medicines, highlighting the need for continued surveillance.

Very high levels of the inherited cholesterol-related particle Lp(a) were linked to a greater risk of major cardiovascular events, particularly stroke and cardiovascular death, in a study of more than 20,000 people. Since elevated Lp(a) often flies completely under the radar, a s

Verheij syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by the impairment of splicing, a critical process in RNA processing. Using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging have demonstrated that this disruption affects met

Decades of selective breeding and intensive agricultural practices have reshaped cattle genetics—often at the expense of valuable diversity preserved in traditional herds—according to new research from Aberystwyth University.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by eosinophilia, an abnormal increase in eosinophils—a type of white blood cell—and inflammation of small blood vessels across multiple organs, which can lead to organ damage. Th

Researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF group institution—and their colleagues at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of SB RAS and other medical science centers in Russia have managed to modulate the breathing and heart rate of a mouse by wirelessly stimulating its vagus nerve. Th

A team from the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), working with a large international network of hospitals and research centers, has shown that left ventricular hypertrabeculation—an anatomical feature of the heart long associated with poor pro

An international team of researchers has developed an innovative strategy for producing new vaccines. They created a genetically modified version of the chikungunya virus that replicates only once yet still trains the immune system to defend itself without causing disease. In tes

O Dia Nacional da Atrofia Muscular Espinhal (AME), celebrado neste sábado (8), reforça a importância do diagnóstico precoce e do início rápido do tratamento para pessoas com a doença. A AME é uma doença genética e degenerativa que afeta os neurônios responsáveis pelos movimentos

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, painful joint disease and a leading cause of disability. Despite its prevalence, therapies for osteoarthritis are limited and focus on symptom management. Now, researchers are combining genetic studies of Utah families with AI-based molecular bio
