New light-sheet imaging system tracks brain seizure dynamics in 3D
Seizures can race through the brain in seconds, making them difficult to capture in detail. To overcome this…
Scientists link genetic spelling mistakes to sudden cardiac death
Scientists have found that the ‘sudden’ cardiac death condition related to high profile deaths or major medical episodes…
Study reveals why rare neurological disease damages specific brain regions
Many neurological diseases damage specific parts of the brain, even though the harmful protein involved is present throughout…
New ctDNA blood test improves personalized prostate cancer treatment
A noninvasive DNA blood test can identify metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients who are most likely to…
New portable strip test accurately detects mosquito-borne viruses
A research team has developed a multisite bridging-mediated lateral flow immunoassay (mbLFIA) that enables highly sensitive, portable detection…
Diet helps people lose weight regardless of genetic obesity risk
A six-month clinical trial found that people with a high genetic risk for obesity benefited just as much…
Researchers identify new genetic pathway driving epilepsy and seizures
Researchers have uncovered a novel biological pathway that can lead to seizures when disrupted. The findings also provide…
Blood-based gene tests show promise for pancreatic cancer screening
Researchers at Kanazawa University report the blood-based gene expression tests may enable early pancreatic cancer screening and improve…
Mitochondrial DNA mutations link to cardiometabolic parameters in metabolic syndrome
Background and objectives Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variability, especially heteroplasmy, is believed to affect cellular immunobiogenesis, particularly in monocytes…
Integrating gene signatures and multi omics improves liver cancer treatment
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains highly fatal due to late diagnosis and scarce early biomarkers. Multi‑omics and liquid biopsy…
Genes follow a random switching principle, yet remain precise on average
Inside the cell nucleus, genes must be turned on and off with precision to regulate biological processes. The…
New genetic reference map accelerates human stem cell research
A team led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a genome-scale reference map…
