Researchers have uncovered a surprising molecular chain reaction in the brain that may play a role in some forms of autism.

A hidden molecular chain reaction in the brain may push key cellular systems into overdrive in autism—and scientists just found a way to switch it off.

A new study discovers how nitric oxide triggers a biochemical domino effect in the brain, leading to mTOR overactivation in ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...

Florida state Rep. Adam Anderson championed the Sunshine Genetics Act, the first state-backed genetic disease screening program in the nation. Anderson's son, Drew, died in 2019 from Tay-Sachs disease ...

A person’s genes play a far greater role in likely lifespan than previously thought, according to a major new study published Thursday in the journal Science. Using data from human twin studies, an ...

Abstract: Accurate assessment of biochemical compositions in fish products is essential for quality control in the seafood industry and nutritional research. While spectroscopic techniques enable ...

Psychiatric disorders can share common genetic influences, which means parts of DNA can be at the root of more than one mental condition, new research has found. The study, led by researchers at Texas ...

Overdiagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) through prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing at short intervals remains common. While baseline serum PSA abundance < 1 ng/mL warrants infrequent screening, it ...
