Researchers have revealed how a high-fat changes our mitochondria, reducing their capacity to burn fat, pinpointing the single gene involved in this process.

An investigation conducted by researchers at Karolinska Institutet has led to a discovery in breast cancer diagnostics and treatments that could reshape screening programs and clinical approaches.

Gene analyses revealing the capacity of marine flowering plants to exist under changing environmental conditions provide clues for the conservation and sustainable use of important ecosystems.

Cells used to produce lab-grown beef have been engineered to produce their own growth factors, which could cut production costs.

A Cancer Research study has found that the circadian clock – which synchronizes physiological and cellular activities with the day-night cycle and is generally thought to be tumor suppressive – in fact has a contextually variable role in cancer.

Mutations in many different genes can cause albinism, due to the complex nature of melanin pigment synthesis and metabolism. Researchers have identified these genes in Wels catfish.

In a new mouse study, researchers from the USC Stem Cell lab of Rong Lu describe how specific gene activity could potentially enhance immune cell production.

Researchers examined the genetics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by analyzing mutations in the genomes of individuals and their families.

Just by looking at a short portion of a man’s genome it is possible to estimate the probability that he will die from prostate cancer—even before he has the cancer—thanks to a massive genetic study by RIKEN researchers.

A common protein in the brain that usually forms part of the proteasome also plays a role in regulating genes during memory formation, reveals a new study.
