Rare diseases are sometimes the most difficult to treat because of a lack of research and fewer participants to study. An example would be those who have Pompe disease, a genetic condition when a body can’t make a protein that breaks down a complex sugar, called glycogen, for energy. Too much glycogen builds up and […]

A new biosealant therapy may help to stabilize injuries that cause cartilage to break down, paving the way for a future fix or—even better—begin working right away with new cells to enhance healing, according to a new animal-based study by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Their research was […]
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genetic variants that are associated with a wide range of diseases. But these studies often fall short of establishing what a genetic variant does to bring about a particular trait or disease. “The challenge has been that many of these variants are difficult to interpret,” said Jesse […]

“B.1.1.7.” “B.1.351.” Before the COVID-19 pandemic, these were just a series of arbitrary letters and numbers. Now, we understand these as ‘variants of concern,’ versions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus with unique genetic codes. These variants represent just two branches on an enormous tree of the virus’ genetic diversity. As the virus transmits from person to […]
