Functional precision medicine works to take the guesswork out of deciding which drug to try next for patients with cancers that don’t respond to standard treatments.

No treatments are currently available to cure Parkinson’s disease. Better understanding the genetic foundation of this condition can help researchers find ways to slow or halt its progression.

The concept goes back to a 17th century polymath who worked in Germany.

Calcite, the material making up fossilized eggshells, may preserve amino acids better than bone.

Cambridge researchers have identified genetic variants in two genes that have some of the largest impacts on obesity risk discovered to date.

Vegetarian and low-carb diets aren’t ideal for our brains.

Genealogical and genetic ancestors aren’t the same thing. A DNA match − or a lack of one − may not tell you what you imagine it does about your family tree.

Just as the world’s zoos breed critically endangered animals in captivity to repopulate the wild, scientists are building a global effort to freeze corals for reef restoration.

Single-cell gene expression patterns in the brain, and evidence from follow-up experiments, reveal many shared cellular and molecular similarities that could be targeted for potential treatment.
