Susceptible Genes Identified for Childhood Kidney Disease
Childhood nephrotic syndrome, also known as nephrosis, is an incurable disease with an unknown cause, characterized by large amounts of protein leaving the body in the patient's urine, and protein levels in the bloodstream becoming extremely low. More...09 Aug 2018

Mutations Identified As Cause for Rare Bone Marrow Disorder
Scientists have helped solve a decades-old mystery about which mutations are responsible for an inherited bone marrow disorder. The answer may allow some children to avoid the risk and expense of bone marrow transplantation, a common treatment for leukemia and bone marrow disorders. More...09 Aug 2018



DNA Methylation Linked to Depression in Middle-Aged and Elderly
More than 300 million people across the world suffer from depression, and while genetics contributes to depression risk, so do environmental factors such as adverse life events and stress, particularly among individuals who develop depression later in life. More...03 Aug 2018

New Target Protein for Colon Cancer Identified
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death in men and women in the USA. Pathogenic mediators that regulate CRC tumorigenesis are desirable biomarkers to predict prognosis, recurrence of the disease, and response to therapy to improve the management of patients with CRC.
