Study finds genes influence cats' response to disease medication
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Cats develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, which causes the heart muscle to thicken. As the illness progresses, cats can develop blood clots in their hearts, which can dislodge and cause excruciating pain, anxiety, or even death.

Scientists explore the latent regenerative potential of the inner ear
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Scientists from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Neil Segil have identified a natural barrier to the regeneration of the inner ear's sensory cells, which are lost in hearing and balance disorders. Overcoming this barrier may be a first step in returning inner ear cells to a newborn-like state

Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Cats develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, which thickens their heart muscle. Cats can develop blood clots in their hearts as the illness develops, which could eventually dislodge and result in excruciating pain, anxiety, or even abrupt death.

Scientists study 155 new genes to see how humans continue to evolve
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Nearly 7 million years ago, modern humans diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors, yet we have since continued to evolve. Within the human lineage, 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA have been discovered. A handful of these "microgenes" are projected

Study finds how CRTC1 gene is associated with obesity in humans
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
High-calorie, high-fat, high-sugar foods can taste nice but can contribute to overeating, obesity, and other serious health issues. But what triggers overeating in the brain? It has recently become evident that the human gene CREB-Regulated Transcription Coactivator 1 (CRTC1) is linked to ob

Epigenetics breaks into the clinical practice of cancer: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers describe the impact of epigenetics on cancer treatment and how it has become a crucial tool to improve early detection, predict disease progression and become a target for new treatments.

Study finds how humans continue to evolve with new genes
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Even though we diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors about 7 million years ago, we are still evolving today. The human lineage has 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA. Some of these novel "microgenes" are thought to be linked to diseases that are un
