Using CRISPR to correct mutated muscle stem cells in mice may pave the way for lifelong treatments for people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

One gene mutation seems to make it much more likely that people will fight off MRSA infections, which could lead to new treatments.

Stem cells from bone marrow play a big role in the start and continuation of a pregnancy, research with mice suggests.

The Protein Kinase Inhibitor Alpha gene in rats could also play a role in humans, which could help address how inactivity leads to disease.

A new technique that isolates trophoblast cells—placental cells that carry the complete fetal genome—could offer an alternative to more invasive tests.

"Clearly, nerves in the skin can sense cold. But no one has been able to pinpoint exactly how they sense it." New research cracks the case.

"The global attention on the fires in the Amazon highlights the importance of these South American habitats, and these migratory birds illustrate an inextricable link between hemispheres."

Additional research could determine if changes to the gene resulting from cannabis use contributes to autism in children.

A gene atlas for the human retina could help researchers learn more about eye diseases and help treat or prevent blindness.

Though previous research pointed to the AH receptor as a boost to spreading glioblastoma tumors, new research finds the gene can actually help stop them.
