Scientists have uncovered a surprising genetic workaround that helps cells cope with Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare and devastating disorder.

This photo provided by the Providence Cancer Institute of Oregon in May 2022 shows Kathy Wilkes of Ormond Beach, Fla. Wilkes, with advanced pancreatic cancer, saw her tumors dramatically shrink after ...

Many medical advancements have come at the cost of rodent lives, and that's largely due to some rather surprising ...

Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare but devastating genetic disorder. Those with the condition are often diagnosed between 5 ...

A new machine-learning approach helps scientists more efficiently identify the optimal intervention to achieve a certain outcome in a complex system, such as genome regulation, requiring far fewer ...

I’m writing to make visible an invisible and immediate threat to our local agriculture, economy, and environment — researchers who may be conducting secret field tests on genetically engineered (GE) ...

Almost 100 years ago, Carrie Buck was raped, labeled an “imbecile,” and sterilized by order of the state — all in the name of genetic progress. Today, we no longer use that word, but the dream of ...

That rogue scientist who created HIV-resistant designer babies is apparently gearing up for more human gene-editing research. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, He Jiankui said he wants to ...
