Genes Cure

Profluent, a California-based artificial intelligence (AI)-first protein design company, announced its AI model that can generate CRISPR-like proteins that do not occur in nature on Tuesday. CRISPR or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats is a complex containing important proteins that scientists can use for precise gene editing...

Here's everything you need to know about the benefits of exercising if you have insomnia. We also discuss exercises that reduce insomnia symptoms.

Postnatal gene therapy may be able to prevent or repair many of the harmful effects of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, a rare genetic condition, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. In an animal model of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, researchers discovered that restoring lost gene activity eliminates numerous clinical in...

Two women scientists - Emmanuelle Charpentier, who is French, and American Jennifer Doudna - won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for creating genetic 'scissors' that can rewrite the code of life, contributing to new cancer therapies and holding out the prospect of curing hereditary diseases.

World Sickle Cell Day 2020: One can get infected with sickle cell disease if both parents have the problem gene and pass it on to their child. Here's everything that you need to know.

When a $2.1 million gene therapy offering the chance of a cure for her daughter's rare disease won government approval in May, Lauren Sullivan was struck by a sense of "dangerous hope.''

Autism spectrum disorder is a condition which is related to brain development that impacts how a person interacts with others, perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication.

Doctors say that the technology of rapid whole genome sequencing could help in finding cure faster and revolutionize health care for acutely sick infants.

According to a new study, published in theJournal of Investigative Dermatology, taking high doses of Vitamin D after an hour of experiencing a sunburn can help in giving relief from symptoms like skin redness, swelling and inflammation.

Over eating or excessive intake of food is one of the major reasons of obesity among the masses. People who overeat have a clinical disorder called binge eating disorder.

Several genes are associated with age-related conditions, including hearing loss, retinal degeneration and osteoarthritis, a large screening programme in the UK has identified.

Using a specialised gene editing system, scientists have shown that they can effectively eliminate HIV from the DNA of human cells, paving the way for a cure for patients infected with the virus that causes AIDS.

Researchers have determined how inherited gene variations lead to severe drug toxicity that may threaten chances for a cure in children with leukaemia, a finding which sets the stage to expand the use of a patient's genetic make-up to tailor chemotherapy.

Scientists have been able to link the abnormal behaviour of two genes to the underlying cause of schizophrenia. The findings provide a new target for schizophrenia treatment.

A cure for HIV remains elusive, but scientists say the hunt is more hopeful than ever, based on the prospects of new research described at the International AIDS Society conference this week.
