Epigenetic map creates new insights into the cause of cancer and dementia

A new project is expected to help us understand diseases such as cancer and dementia. A major partnership involving Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK Biobank, NHS England, Genomics England, and the UK government has made this possible.

Universal receptor system allows customizable immunotherapies for cancer

A universal receptor system that enables T cells to recognize any cell surface target has been created by University of Pittsburgh researchers, which could revolutionise customizable immunotherapies for treating cancer and other diseases.

Healing chronic wounds three times faster with electricity

Chronic wounds continue to cause problems for both elderly and diabetic patients, however, using electric stimulation, new research promises to speed up the healing process by up to three times.

Genomics research to benefit human health

Open Access Government discerns some of NHGRI’s work, part of the NIH in the U.S., concerning genomics research to benefit human health.

What are the causes of endometriosis? A study suggests genetics

Researchers were able to better identify the causes of endometriosis using different datasets of women with and without the condition, finding genetics play a large role.

Genetically modified rice to tackle climate-induced food shortages

Genetically modified rice could be used to lessen food shortages caused by climate change, as salt tolerance allows it to grow in warmer conditions.

Ancient Siberian genomes reveal previously unknown hunter-gatherer population

Researchers uncover ancient Siberian genomes which reveal a previously undescribed group of early hunter-gatherer population in Neolithic Altai-Sayan region.

Overcoming the cost challenge of rare, orphan & genetic therapies and CGT development

Craig Caceci, Managing Director, Terebellum®, walks us through how to overcome the cost challenge of CGT development for rare, orphan and genetic therapies.

Understanding diabetes: Reducing the risk of type 2

Dr Stacey Lockyer, Senior Nutrition Scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation, walks us through understanding diabetes & reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Frogs regrow limbs: what does this mean for humankind?

Scientists have proven that African claw frogs can regrow limbs - could humans also have dormant regenerative capabilities?

Personalising genome sequencing doubles the diagnosis of rare diseases

Implementing personalising genome sequencing and tailoring analysis to each individual patient could double diagnostic rates of rare diseases.

Metabolism detects our ancestry and risk of diseases

Our ancestry can be detected not only in our genes, but also in our metabolism, says ground-breaking Yale-led study.

Diabetes education to protect tomorrow

Prof Andrew Boulton, President, International Diabetes Federation, calls for more to be done to improve access to diabetes education.

The International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics

From the 4th to the 7th of November 2022, Phuket, Thailand will host the 19 International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics ISRFG 2022 where we will see agricultural science “Driving the Next Green Revolution”.

Why do Europeans have lactose tolerance?

Famine and disease were the catalyst for the evolution of lactose tolerance in Europe, and explain why others are lactose intolerant.

What is the science behind IVF failure?

Researchers find that IVF failure is commonly due to spontaneous errors in the early phases of cell division which causes so many human embryos to fail to develop.
