The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

Scientists have identified hundreds of genes that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease but the roles these ...

Whole genome duplication followed by massive gene loss has shaped many genomes, including the human genome. Why some gene duplicates are retained while most perish has puzzled scientists for decades.

Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Scientists have identified hundreds of genes that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease but the roles these ...

This study is led by Dr. Yue Zhou (State Key Laboratory of Gene Function and Modulation Research, School of Advanced Agricultural Sciences, Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences, Peking University, ...

Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine say they have developed a technique for studying the role genes play on basic biology and disease that is easier, faster, and more efficient than current ...
