The finding supports theory that genetic differences between individuals and species can affect the acquisition of mutations.
Creating a novel population of mutant tissues helps scientists deduce the cause of polycystic kidney disease and other cilia-linked illnesses.
Project aims to create a genome reference that represents the genetic diversity of all the populations on Earth.
Findings indicate unexplained disparities at screening sites influence the lag in follow-ups among nonwhite women, authors say.
A new study published today in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology shows a mother-to-be's COVID-19 infection can impair her placena's immune response, leaving it vulnerable to other viruses and infections during pregnancy.
This damage occurs even if the mother has a mild case of COVID-19, OB-GYN researchers found.
SKbioscience’s SKYCovione vaccine becomes the first therapeutic OK'd for people to emerge from the Institute for Protein Design.
Project explores whether simple interventions can lower use of medications that increase fall risk in this population.
The impact is greater on a male fetus. The UW Medicine-led study encourages pregnant women to be tested for stress levels.
The drug erythropoietin, when combined with cooling therapy, showed no added benefits, study finds.
Across 16 countries studied, spikes in influenza-like illnesses emerged 3 months before the first COVID-19 cases were reported.
While Omicron variants ratchet up immune evasion, study suggests current boosters intensify protections against serious infection
Machine learning, used to design proteins with a variety of functions, is doing things scientists didn't realize it was capable of.
Synthetic cannabinoids, dangerous designer drugs known by such street names as K2, Spice, or AK-47, appear to have less appeal in states that have legalized the natural form of cannabis.
Measuring how the eyes’ pupils change in response to light — known as the pupillary light reflex — could potentially be used to screen for autism in young children, according to a study conducted at Washington State University.
Children with Down syndrome prefer food with a crispy, oily mouthfeel and don’t like brittle or gooey foods.
Scientists have identified a protein known as sulfatase‑2 that plays a critical role in the damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis.
Researchers at WSU have found that a sarbecovirus discovered in Russian lesser horseshoe bats is capable of infecting humans and is resistant to the antibodies of people vaccinated against SARS‑CoV‑2.
New research shows many people want and would benefit from interactions with cats as part of university-based animal assisted interventions to reduce stress.
Genetically modified mouse studies reveal pathways for organ-damaging autoimmune response.
