Tag: diseaseNew DNA Markers for Alzheimer's The genetic risk factors could help scientists predict and better understand the disease. A small chunk of DNA linked to schizophrenia, mental retardation, and autism may change the way we think about disease. Transplanted stem cells restore normal behavior in brain-damaged rodents. Treatments are being tested for three inherited forms. A DNA chip could make it easier to diagnose rare conditions while the patient is still in utero. Chinese, African Genomes Sequenced By validating an emerging technology, two new genomic studies offer hope for the fight against disease. Research in mice suggests that it might be possible to delete specific painful memories. Hard Road for Medical Treatments Promising studies are often refuted later. Five Thousand Bucks for Your Genome A new sequencing service could change the face of human genomics. Scanning DNA for structural changes brings new insight into disease. Stem Cells Lessen Stroke Damage The anti-inflammatory effect could lead to new therapies. Vibrating Cells Disclose Their Ailments MIT researchers gauge the progress of malaria using a novel imaging technique. Researchers have grown stem cells in tiny, protective sacs. Researchers use unique molecular signatures to visualize the body. Researchers target a tiny strand of RNA to try to treat hepatitis C. |
