Genetics

Treating heart disease with your own cells

The largest national stem cell study for heart disease showed the first evidence that transplanting a potent form of adult stem cells into the heart muscle of subjects with severe angina results in less pain and an improved ability to walk.

Chromosomes dance and pair up

Meiosis - the pairing and recombination of chromosomes, followed by segregation of half to each egg or sperm cell - is a major crossroads in all organisms reproducing sexually.

Largest gene study of childhood IBD

International research team has identified five new gene regions of childhood-onset inflammatory bowel disease, including one involved in a biological pathway that helps drive the painful inflammation. MORE »

Developmental delay and nicotinic receptor deletion

The loss of a gene through deletion of genetic material on chromosome 15 is associated with significant abnormalities in learning and behaviour, said a consortium of researchers. MORE »
