University of California San Diego-led team has discovered that restoring a key cardiac protein called connexin‑43 in a mouse ...

The common wisdom is that each gene codes for one protein. Someone studying whether a patient has a mutation or version of a gene that contributes to their disease will therefore look for mutations ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses ...

ElevateBio is seeking out partnerships for its lead gene therapy after the construct reduced the levels of a toxic protein in mice with Huntington’s disease by more than 80%. The therapy had no impact ...

Results from a three-year trial suggest an experimental gene therapy for Huntington's disease can slow the progression of the deadly condition by 75%. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

This image shows three brain cells with the faulty protein that causes Huntington’s disease. The bright yellow cell in the middle has built up a clump of this protein inside it. The blue spots in the ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Scientists identify a "master regulator" that may reset Brain Aging by controlling tau and gene expression in neurons.
