A study led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego sheds new light on how a type of heart valve disease, called aortic valve stenosis, progresses differently in males and females.

A deep-rooted population structure emerged, suggesting modern humans, Homo sapiens, are the result of a population that split in two about 1.5 million years ago, and then, only 300,000 years ago, ...

Lurking within the genomes of nearly all species--including plants, fungi, and even humans--are genes that are passed from generation to generation with no clear benefit to the organism. Called ...

Genes from the minority population, particularly those related to brain function, may have played a crucial role in human ...

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...

A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and ...

Mammalian genomes are organized by multi-level folding, yet how this organization contributes to cell type-specific transcription remain unclear. We uncovered that the nuclear protein SATB1 ...

Biological sciences researchers from the U of A have led the publication of a paper that expands our understanding of sensory ...

The small study in patients with a rare disorder that causes liver and lung damage showed the potential for precisely ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the Beijing Institute of Stem Cells and Regeneration (BISCRM) and the Institute of Zoology (IOZ) have cracked the code of the notorious ...
