Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers ...

Insecticides have been used for centuries to counteract widespread pest damage to valuable food crops. Eventually, over time, beetles, moths, flies and other insects develop genetic mutations that ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...

Research on gene drive systems is rapidly advancing. Many proposed applications of gene drive research aim to solve environmental and public health challenges. However, due to their intrinsic ...

Mosquitoes are an uncomfortable, itchy nuisance. But for people in sub-Saharan Africa, a bite could mean death. The pests are living incubators for the parasite that causes malaria. Roughly 600,000 ...

In preclinical work recently published in Nature Communications, Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists used a genetic “chain reaction” to transform herpes simplex virus DNA during an HSV infection. The ...
