A seminal genetic study published in Nature Communication has discovered two genetic variants linked to breast cancer in black South African women, deepening knowledge about the genetic basis for this disease in African populations.

The genome-wide association study (GWAS) of breast cancer is the first to have been done in African women living on the…

The new approach could represent a paradigm shift in how the malformations, commonly called CCMs, are treated, the researchers say. The technique uses tiny, gas-filled “microbubbles” propelled by focused sound waves to open the brain’s protective barrier…

Now, a new study published in JAMA Oncology and led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators suggests there may be a faster option. Researchers found that stereotactic body…

As described in research published today in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might support…

Scientists study development in part to understand what can go wrong as the body’s structures are formed.

The ultimate hope is to be able to prevent birth…

The research shows that the sinoatrial node (SAN) — a small but powerful structure in the human heart that serves as its natural pacemaker and initiates every normal heartbeat — runs on…

The researchers demonstrated that proteins made from these rearranged, so-called fusion genes form tiny liquid droplets inside the cell, where…

Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and UNSW Sydney have discovered why some people with coeliac disease continue to suffer debilitating symptoms despite strictly avoiding gluten.

The study, published in Science Translational Medicine, used cutting-edge single-cell…
