The PLN gene mutation causes heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Experts say West Michigan's Dutch community could be ...

Cancer is often thought of as a single disease. Yet even tumors that arise in the same organ can follow very different ...

In adults, damage to myelin is a hallmark of MS. In this condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the ...

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 ...

A gene known as CTNNB1 encodes for a crucial protein called β-catenin, which has an important role in controlling tissue repair and cell growth. If this gene and its protein are dysfunctional, it can ...

Scientists showed that a mutation in animals that live at high altitude promotes myelin regeneration, informing potential new ...

Revealing the limitations of cloning, researchers who repeatedly cloned mice for two decades have discovered that such serial ...

The mutation has been linked to heart failure and sudden cardiac death.

In a major advance, researchers have successfully corrected genetic mutations in neurons with a single injection into the brains of a mouse model. This technique did not completely reverse the disease ...

Emily Kramer-Golinkoff can’t get enough oxygen with each breath. Advanced cystic fibrosis makes even simple things like walking or showering arduous and exhausting. She has the most common fatal ...
