There is evidence that Crohn’s disease is genetic, though environmental factors may also be involved. Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation in ...

Your DNA may predict more about you than the way you look. According to the genetic theory of aging, your genes (as well as mutations in those genes) are responsible for how long you'll live. Here's ...

New work by Columbia researchers has turned a textbook principle of genetics on its head and revealed why some people who carry disease-causing genes experience no symptoms. Every biology student ...

The genetic mechanism is similar to sex determination in many animals. Pictured, Groh with a California black walnut tree on the UC Davis campus. (Sasha Bakhter, College of Biological Sciences) The ...

Each gene tells a cell to make a specific molecule, but this isn't performed by the DNA itself. Instead, the information is relayed to cellular machinery by a molecule called messenger RNA.

The pair had helped identify a still-unnamed disease, which they had tied to a particular gene and to a particular somatic mutation—a genetic change that had not been passed down from a parent ...

Mesoblast (ASX:MSB) was the top performer for the year up 835% (as of December 30). On December 18 Mesoblast announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had finally approved its therapy ...

Genetic testing can be used to learn about your risk of developing cancer and to find out if family members might be at risk. But there are many things to think about before you do it. If you have any ...
