It took a while for the science to basically catch up to that suspicion.” In these types of “recessive” conditions, the ...

Scientists are testing an entirely new way to fight heart disease: whether gene editing might offer a one-time fix for high ...

The idea of self-amplifying gene editing is to get cells to pass on packages of CRISPR machinery to their neighbours, boosting the effect ...

For the first time, scientists have identified genetic variants that increase the risk of aneuploidy, in which cells have an abnormal number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy in egg cells can lead to ...

Cell and gene therapies , or CGT , have come a long way since they were first introduced. In the last few decades, both cell therapy -- the transplantation of living cells -- and gene therapy -- the ...

A study published in Nature has established the first direct link between common genetic variants in mothers and the risk of embryo aneuploidy, a condition where cells carry the wrong number of ...

The partnership builds on a long-standing relationship between 2Blades and the University of Minnesota, where GEMS ...

How much of our lifespan is written in our genes, and how much is sitting on our plates? A new analysis suggests that while ...

Life’s story may stretch further back than scientists once thought. Some genes found in nearly every organism today were already duplicated before all life shared a common ancestor. By tracking these ...
