Euan Ashley's lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny "typos," or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health ...

Genetic research indicates that Neanderthal and Homor Sapiens interbreeding was socially driven to an unexpected degree.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder marked by amyloid plaque buildup and cognitive decline, remains a challenging condition to understand at the molecular level. While substantial ...

Despite rapid advances in reading the genetic code of living organisms, scientists still face a major challenge today—knowing a gene's sequence does not automatically reveal what it does. Even in ...

Alopecia refers to hair loss and can affect the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other areas of the body. There are different types of alopecia including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, anagen ...
