If confirmed in people, the finding might lead to gut-targeted therapies that could reverse cognitive decline.

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

New research that decoded the evolution of mosquitoes’ feeding habits from DNA could shed light on the murky timeline of prehistoric human ancestors.

Deep beneath the shifting sea ice of the Arctic Ocean, a massive marine mammal moves slowly through waters that remain near freezing for most of the year. The animal, known as the Bowhead Whale, can ...

Extensive toxicological and epidemiological research has shown that these carcinogens cause DNA damage, mutational signatures ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a ...

A new study isolated DNA from the tumours of 500 cats across 13 different tumour types and mapped the sequence of 1,000 genes often found mutated in human cancers.

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient’s cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of ...

A declassified 1951 CIA report linking parasites and cancer cells has resurfaced online, sparking debate about early tumour research and modern scientific evidence.

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

Many of us might reach for the hair dye the moment those first grey hairs appear. But a new study suggests we may be covering up one of the body's most ingenious defences against cancer.
