Genomics is the branch of molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes.
The body's immune system performs essential functions, such as defending against bacteria and cancer cells. However, the human brain is separated from immune cells in the bloodstream by the so-called blood-brain barrier. This barrier protects the brain from pathogens and toxins circulating in the blood, while also dividing the immune…
In a preclinical study in mice and human cells, researchers report that selectively removing old or 'senescent' cells from joints could stop and even reverse the progression of osteoarthritis.
Using state-of-the-art gene editing technology, scientists have discovered a promising target to treat atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour (AT/RT) - a highly aggressive and therapy resistant brain tumour that mostly occurs in infants.
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM), or diabetes among infants less than six months of age, is a rare form of diabetes caused by a mutation in genes crusial to the development or function of beta cells. In about half of such cases, the disease becomes permanent (PNDM). Mutations in more than…
Meningococcal infections are the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in the United Kingdom, a life-threatening disease that poses a continuing threat worldwide. With growing fears around the increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, understanding why certain strains don't respond to vaccines could prove vital in helping reduce the number of global…
Repositive, the company that created the world’s largest portal for accessing human genomic research data, has closed a Series A funding round of £2.5 million.
A research team from Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia (IGC, Portugal), developed a new genetic technique that allows the elimination of specific neurons of the peripheral nervous system without affecting the brain.
Researchers have shed light on genome reorganisation occurring during the first hours post-fertilisation in a single-cell mammalian embryo
New genes which help prevent prostate, skin and breast cancer development in mice have been discovered by researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and their collaborators.
Scientists have discovered a new form of congenital muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in a previously un-linked gene.
Cancer Research UK announced that four international teams are the first recipients of its global £100m Grand Challenge competition, which aims to overcome the biggest challenges facing cancer researchers in a global effort to beat cancer sooner.
