The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD ...

Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine say they have developed a technique for studying the role genes play on basic biology and disease that is easier, faster, and more efficient than current ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

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 ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine neuroscientists say they have found a new function for the SYNGAP1 gene, a DNA sequence that controls memory and learning in mammals, including mice and humans. The finding, ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a gene therapy for Alzheimer’s disease that could help protect the brain from damage and preserve cognitive function ...

Experiments in zebrafish and other models showed that blocking ABHD18 expression reduced the disruptive buildup of monolysocardiolipin in cells.

A breakthrough study results in the restoration of retinal and visual functions of mice models suffering from inherited retinal disease. A breakthrough study, led by researchers from the University of ...
