Scientists are increasingly tracing a variety of diseases back to the so-called epigenome, a type of indexing system imposed on DNA that dictates how genes should be read by the cells. Now, a new study finds that changes in two epigenetics mechanisms—DNA and histone methylation—may interact to spur disease. The scientists looked at two developmental […]
Women with the deadliest form of breast cancer are given new hope thanks to a drug that ‘turbocharges’ the immune system Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive, harder-to-treat form of disease Just 77% of patients survive more than five years, compared to over 90% of those with other kinds of breast cancer Among new […]
Selma Blair posted a bizarre selfie video wearing a blonde wig to Instagram. In the video, Selma speaks with a southern accent and talks about paparazzi photos showing her without hair. Selma says her “hair is long as a needle” and flips the blonde locks. Selma Blair has been super open about her battle with […]
In Brazil, scientists affiliated with the Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center (HUG-CELL) at the University of São Paulo (USP) have identified a molecule capable of reducing the aggressiveness of embryonal central nervous system tumors. These are malignant tumors that start in fetal cells in the brain and mainly affect children up to four […]
A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Christiana Ruhrberg (UCL, UK) and Professor Anna Cariboni (University of Milan, Italy) have found two molecules that work together to help set up the sense of smell and pave the way to puberty in mice. These findings, reported in the journal Development, may help our understanding of why […]
The researchers used the most advanced genomic and proteomic technologies available to tease out their proteogenomic characteristics, defined as genetic makeup (genomics), chemical modifications to DNA (epigenomics), messenger RNA located in cells that serves as template to make proteins (transcriptomics), and proteins (proteomics) and their modification by phosphate group (phosphoproteomics), a modification known to regulate […]
We’re all for celebrating women’s bodies regardless of their age—isn’t “she looks great for her age” kind of a backhanded compliment? But let’s just take a moment to point out that Melanie Griffith is 62 and looks like this.

An international team of researchers led by Cleveland Clinic has developed new genetic-based epilepsy risk scores which may lay the foundation for a more personalized method of epilepsy diagnosis and treatment. This analysis is the largest study of epilepsy genetics to date, as well as the largest study of epilepsy using human samples. Published in […]
New research from King’s College London published in EBioMedicine, has found that a newly tested medical device, called Sleeveballoon, mimics the effects of traditional bariatric surgery in rodents and produces impressive results on body weight, fatty liver and diabetes control. Sleeveballoon is a device that combines a balloon with a connected sleeve, which covers the […]
