Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years.

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

Cats have long been something of a medical mystery. Compared to dogs, our feline friends receive a fraction of the research attention, but a sweeping new international study is changing that by ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

Waterborne pathogens, particularly Cryptosporidium, pose a growing public-health risk in Australia and globally. Cryptosporidiosis notifications have increased markedly in recent years across multiple ...

Neuroscientists use AI and genetic datasets from 23andMe to map how language develops in the brain, revealing links between rhythm and dyslexia.

Lake: Artificial intelligence, done right, can bring to classrooms the same focus, individualization, urgency and care ...

Driving past Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, I noticed a billboard that reads something like, “We treat your cancer like it’s YOUR cancer.” The message is more than a slogan. It ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

More than two hundred metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found sitting directly on top of human DNA, according to a study ...

Early prediction and identification of neurodegenerative diseases offers the best chance for prevention and treatment.
