Academics are seeking 20,000 people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis to take part in the research.

Years of work by developmental biologists from Trinity College Dublin, working with colleagues at the University of Edinburgh's MRC Human Genetics Unit, has yielded a resource of unparalleled detail that will help researchers assess how key genes control the differentiation of tissues and organs of developing embryos.

A blood test could predict risk of developing leukaemia in the elderly population years in advance by identifying changes in blood cell production, according to new research.By identifying those most at risk it should be possible to provide preventiv

The scientific research apprenticeship model lacks training in core data science skills. Community-developed workshops delivered by academic peers can help to fill this gap, Alison Meynert and Edward Wallace explain

Developing drugs that target these proteins could be one way of slowing the ageing process, according to the largest genetic study of ageing.As we age, our bodies begin to decline after we reach adulthood, which results in age-related diseases and de

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh identified two proteins that they believe are tied to shorter, less healthy lives. Reducing protein levels could potentially expand lifespans.

Two blood proteins have been shown by scientists to influence how long and healthy a life we live, research suggests.

Researchers have identified two blood proteins that influence health and longevity. Developing drugs to target these proteins could help slow the aging process.
