People have two copies of most of their genes, one from each parent. Mutations can change or silence one or both copies. In the case of the Syngap1 gene, research has shown that two working copies are ...

As and when people age, their blood and other cells naturally develop mutations and some of them can also increase the risk ...

Blood donation is an important way to support community health. A consistent, reliable and safe blood supply is necessary to ...

The second act of a popular reprogramming factor could maximize the potential of iPSCs in research and regenerative medicine.

New research suggests that frequent blood donation can trigger genetic changes that might protect certain stem cells from ...

Scientists engineered woolly mice to study mammoth traits, raising ethical and ecological concerns about de-extinction.

New research shows that mutations in DNMT3A in blood stem cells of frequent blood donors may bolster the production of noncancerous cells.

Frequent donors were more likely to have different genetic changes in their blood stem cells, scientists found.

Extinction is still forever, but scientists at the biotech company Colossal Biosciences are trying what they say is the next best thing to restoring ancient beasts — genetically engineeri ...

A human-specific NOVA1 variant changed mouse vocalizations, potentially providing insights into the evolution of language.

Colossal CEO Ben Lamm reaffirmed that the company has no plans to create a real-life Jurassic Park — and said that humanity ...
