Pancreatic cancer remains one of the biggest challenges in the field of oncology. Numbers of cases are increasing, and the latest personalized therapies and immunotherapy are not yet yielding results.

But a new study suggests that these parallels are a bit of an accident, and digits come by re-deploying a genetic network that controls a completely different process: the formation of the cloaca, a ...

Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer (HLRCC) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder, also known as ...

Hospitals may soon have a faster option, thanks to a groundbreaking system built in part by Sneha Goenka, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Princeton—and MIT Technology ...

A rare genetic mutation that causes a deficiency in an immune regulator called ISG15 is known to make people more vulnerable to some bacterial infections and cause persistent inflammation — but it can ...

Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...

A hidden genetic mutation could predict a man’s likelihood of developing dementia. That’s according to an Australian study led by Monash and Curtin Universities, which analyzed the medical data of ...
