Genome editing has corrected rare brain mutations in mice; could also help fight neurological diseases
Scientists have corrected gene mutations in mice causing an ultra-rare disease by editing DNA directly in the brain with a single injection, a feat with profound implications for patients with ...
UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...
Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. A team led by scientists at the German research ...
Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...
Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a progressive neurological disease with an average age of onset at 43 years and an average life expectancy of only ...
Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...
Certain rare gene mutations can contribute significantly to low levels of a beneficial form of cholesterol in the blood, researchers have found. Low levels of this cholesterol, known as high-density ...
A rare breed of hunting dogs known for its forked nose, the Turkish Pointer, might just help scientists better understand why human babies are sometimes born with facial clefts. In a recent study, ...
A genetic mutation found in two human patients with schizophrenia also increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice with the same mutation, a rare finding of a direct genetic link to psychosis, ...
A new study published in Nature in the paper, “Developmental convergence and divergence in human stem cell models of autism,” provides new insights by demonstrating that while different mutations ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
