How did humans evolve brains capable of complex language, civilization, and more? The answer could lie in exceptional DNA. Scientists at UC San Francisco have found that parts of our chromosomes have ...

Scientists achieved a genetic breakthrough by removing an extra human chromosome using gene-editing technology. This landmark study successfully deleted the surplus chromosome 21 responsible for Down ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells behave like egg cells—a technique that could change the course of the future of ...

(Reuters) -Human skin cells may one day be used to create functional human eggs in a step toward helping women have their own genetic children when their natural eggs are dysfunctional, according to ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup. Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau, Southwest Germany, have ...

Analyzing genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, researchers linked maternal DNA variants to increased risk of ...

Translocations are chromosomal “cut and paste” errors that drive many lymphomas, a type of blood cancer and the sixth most common form of cancer overall. This includes mantle cell lymphoma, a rare but ...

A study of artificial human and chimpanzee nerve cells revealed how faster-evolving DNA gives neurons the ability to build increasingly complex brain power How did humans evolve brains capable of ...
