MicroRNAs strongly associated with type 2 diabetes in study Scientists at the NIH’s National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) have found a set of small RNA molecules, called microRNAs, in human pancreatic cells that are strongly associated with type 2 diabetes.Read More
Genes for coronary artery disease identified University of Virginia researchers and their collaborators have identified genes that play a key role in the development of coronary artery disease, the number one cause of death worldwide. The research, published recently in Circulation Research, may provide scientists with promising therapeutic targets as they work to develop new and improved treatments.Read More
AI tool makes speedy gene editing possible Researchers have designed an artificial intelligence (AI) program that may enable the production of customizable proteins called zinc fingers to treat diseases by turning genes on and off. The research published on January 26 in Nature Biotechnology may accelerate large-scale gene therapy development.Read More
