Another finding the researchers report from their experiments is that microplastics triggered harmful gene activity in both ...
Pulmonary fibrosis—also known in technical terms as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)—is a rare but life-threatening ...
What researchers do know is that the human ovary follows its own clock and, unlike other organs, begins to age early. When women are still relatively young — in their late 30s and 40s — their ovaries ...
Women have risk factors such as genetics, hormones, and sex-specific responses to stress.
Pregnancy loss may occur in as many as 25% of all pregnancies. Most of these losses occur in the first trimester, and about ...
Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. To achieve this, duplicated chromosomes, known as ...
Being born with two X chromosomes brings a host of health benefits, and recognising this could lead to personalised medical ...
Down syndrome is caused by an error in cell division during development. Individuals receive three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the typical two copies, resulting in duplicates of the genes ...
James Watson, a renowned molecular biologist and one of the Nobel Prize winners for discovering the structure of DNA, died Thursday after a brief illness, according to a statement from his former ...
Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...
Modern genetics reveals that over 50 genes across many chromosomes—not just X and Y—govern sex development. The term “sex ...
The study provides a valuable analysis of escape from X-inactivation based on three rare female GTEX-donors with non-mosaic X-inactivation. The methods and analyses are solid and broadly support the ...
