Study used a Mendelian randomization approach to identify REG1A and REG1B as potential biomarkers for early detection of pancreatic cancer, showing their causal effects and significance in cancer screening.

Does childhood obesity all come down to the genes? Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania have pinpointed a specific genetic variant that appears to play a significant role in a child’s risk of becoming overweight or obese — and it all comes down to a single “letter” change in the genetic code.

<p>Hispanic/Latino individuals have the highest risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the United States.  However, the basis for this difference is not well understood. Researchers recently identified a genetic variant that accounts for the increased risk of B-cell ALL in Hispanic/Latino children, and using ancient DNA, they traced the mutation all the way back to the first migrants who entered the Americas ~13,000 years ago. The findings were published in <em&...

Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to reveal a new form of aggressive prostate cancer which they said could help thousands of lives

Prostate cancer affects one in eight men. Now, AI has helped scientists make a discovery that could revolutionise future treatment.

Researchers find way to classify prostate cancer that might help identify 15% of men with more aggressive type

The discovery of the G6PD Mediterranean mutation in ancient Bahrainis suggests that many people in the region’s ancient populations may have enjoyed protection from the infectious, deadly disease.

The evolution of viral tolerance in Myotis bats may help scientists prevent future pandemics, say researchers at Texas A&M. Bats carry some of the deadliest zoonotic diseases that can infect both humans and animals, such as Ebola and COVID-19. In a recently published article in the journal
