Brains with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) show DNA damage similar to Alzheimer’s. Study links genetic stress to ...

When Napoleon’s once invincible army limped out of Russia in winter 1812, frostbite and hunger were merely half the story.

California has a way of exaggerating things—mountains, deserts, and egos. But its insects? They take excess to another level.

We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

DNA shines a light back into the past, showing us things that fossils can't. But how far back can that light extend? Some of the oldest DNA sequences come from mastodon and polar bear fossils about 50 ...

At times, aging doesn’t become evident in wrinkles or in gray hair, it occurs deep inside your body, in cells that have ...

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is a known risk factor for coronary artery disease, though its precise role in disease progression continues to emerge. This study leverages ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the ...

Through cutting-edge methods and advanced artificial intelligence analysis, UNC Charlotte researchers leading a ...

A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who’ve ...
