Great white sharks have few predators capable of dominating them. Yet their lives are not easy as they have to deal with others of the same species. Even having terrible wounds in a short time, white sharks can heal and this characteristic we also find in other species of sharks. In the United States of […]

In a research showing up today in JAMA Network Open, Rady Kid’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM) scientists discovered that the contribution of genetic diseases to infant deaths was greater than formerly recognized. Of 112 infant deaths examined, single-locus (Mendelian) genetic diseases were found to be the most typical antecedent of baby death and associated

Aged bone marrow stimulates the expansion of arterial smooth muscle cells and also exacerbates the build-up of fatty deposits in artery walls, a recent Yale research has discovered. The effects of bone marrow aging are not defined The aftermaths of the aging of cells in the bone marrow on arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are

More than 10% of older adults create somatic (non-inherited) mutations in blood stem cells that could trigger explosive, clonal expansions of abnormal cells, enhancing the risk for blood cancer and heart disease. Multiple DNA sequencing techniques have been utilized to determine what is called “clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential,” or CHIP. Still, it has been

For greater than 100 years, biologists have wondered why animals display different kinds of life cycles. Some species, like humans and also most vertebrates, develop straight into a fully formed yet smaller version of an adult. On the other hand, many other animals provide rise to beautifully diverse intermediate forms we know as larvae, which

An increase in genetic regulatory aspects explains how modern humans evolved bigger brains than other hominins. The surface area of the human being’s cerebral cortex is more than 3 times the dimension of that of the chimpanzee. Neuroscientists have found that particular gene variants are linked to increases in brain surface area. The genetic differences
In a recent research released today in Cell Reports, scientists from the Donald K. Johnson Eye Institute (DKJEI), part of the Krembil Research Institute at University Health Network, have determined anteriorly unknown links between genetic factors in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This neurodevelopmental disorder is associated with a wide variety of physiological and behavioral symptoms.

Scientists in Australia and the United States are starting a multi-million dollar project to bring the Tasmanian tiger back from extinction. The last known Tasmanian Tiger, technically named Thylacine, passed away in the 1930s. The group behind the effort claims it can accomplish this using stem cells and gene-editing technology. The first Thylacine may be

Josiah Zayner is the first individual known to have modified his personal DNA and he revealed the planet just how easy it is to do, live-streaming the process on his blog, “Science, Art, Beauty”. Zayner claims this was the second time he has genetically changed himself. Utilizing CRISPR, a fairly new gene-editing method, he took

Destroying cancer cells without affecting bordering normal cells is the most desirable method for targeted cancer treatment. However, it can not be easily accomplished because of the resemblances in the properties in between normal and cancer cells. So scientists at the IBS developed an innovative strategy called CINDELA (Cancer-specific INDEL Attacker). Which invades cancer-specific mutations
