A new genomic test has been developed to accurately predict whether a patient’s cancer will resist common chemotherapy treatments.

Nearly half of all patients with anxiety or depression experience no effect from the drugs they are first prescribed. Research shows that our genes may predict which drugs work, potentially allowing doctors to choose the right drug on the first try.

Researchers have uncovered the surprising evolutionary history of the Norwegian lemming, revealing it as one of the most recently evolved mammals. The study found that the species split from the Siberian lemming 35,000 years ago.

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi discovered how m6A methylation controls the production of essential proteins in neurons, crucial for axon development. The study links genetic mutations involved in autism and schizophrenia to disruptions in this process.

Researchers have induced a senescent-like state in worms, providing a model to explore how senescence can be triggered and overcome.

The Perturb-Multi method combines imaging and sequencing to study gene function in intact tissue. By analyzing liver tissue from genetically modified mice, the team discovered new mechanisms involved in liver fat accumulation.

A recent study reveals that slowing down the intracellular transport of RNA-based drugs can significantly enhance their effectiveness. These therapeutics are currently used to treat rare genetic diseases.

A new discovery could help point toward the first effective therapy being discovered for triple-negative breast cancer.

Scientists have identified a network of cells and genes that cause fibrosis in patients with Crohn's disease.

Findings from three patients in a gene therapy clinical trial showed that gene therapy treatment significantly improved blood flow in the brain. These results demonstrate that people with associated risk factors should be considered for trials.
