High protein diet associated with small increased heart failure risk in middle-aged men
For middle-aged men, eating higher amounts of protein was associated with a slightly elevated risk for heart failure than those […]
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a computer program that represents a key step toward better understanding the connections […] Not all of your genome needs to be active at any given time. Some regions are prone to hopping around […] Researchers at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), the University of Dundee and the Wellcome Sanger Institute have used human and […] A Danish-German research team has shown that not only the where and when of long non-coding RNA expression is important […] Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer. Response to standard-of-care treatment is poor, with a […] Genetics is a crapshoot. During sexual reproduction, genes from both the mother and the father mix and mingle to produce […] Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a genetic screening tool that identified two key factors that allow the […] Researchers from Charité — Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin’s university hospital, have discovered a new mechanism by which live vaccines induce immunity.
