A Michigan State University researcher's new model for studying breast cancer could help scientists better understand why and where cancer metastasizes. Professor Eran Andrechek who teaches in the MSU ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Article reviewed by Tristan Long, PhD from Wilfrid Laurier University. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. These organisms are also successful models because of their ...

For many years, scientists have known that genetic variants, or differences in DNA code across people, play some role in neurological and psychiatric disorders. But the details were murky. Now, ...

Whether we are predisposed to particular diseases may depend to a large extent on variations in our genomes, but the influence on the presentation of certain pathological traits of genetic variants ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Invited Expert Review, researchers from the University of Haifa have synthesized cutting-edge findings on Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), revealing how this complex ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Researchers at Åbo Akademi University have identified a new molecular change in patients with colorectal cancer and developed a genetic disease model that forms tumors in the large intestine, ...

A new study published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science offers a nuanced look at how genetic risk for ...

Have you ever wondered why some people are left-handed while most people are right-handed? The science behind this simple difference is more complicated than you might think! About 10.6 percent of ...
