Human Bodies: Cells Age Faster Than Previously Thought, New Study Reveals
New research published in Aging Cell suggests that epigenetic clocks, used to measure biological age based on genetic modifications, may be less accurate due to daily variations.

PCOS Awareness Month: Diet And Lifestyle Modifications To Manage Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
While the exact cause of PCOS remains unclear, research suggests that genetics, insulin resistance, gut microbiome composition and lifestyle factors play a significant role in its development.

In Breakthrough, Malaria Mosquitoes Wiped Out In Trials Using This Method
Scientists have succeeded in wiping out a population of caged mosquitoes in laboratory experiments using a type of genetic engineering known as a gene drive, which spread a modification blocking female reproduction.

Modification Of Genes In Human Embryos
Scientists are very close to snipping inherited genetic diseases out of human offspring using a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. For the first time, scientists said, they corrected a gene mutation linked to inherited heart conditions in human embryos using the approach.

Is Cardiac Health All in Your Genes?
The good news: Healthy behaviour appears to slash the risk of coronary disease in people at high genetic risk for events. The bad news: Folks with "good genes" cant expect their genetic makeup to offset bad habits, warns a senior cardiologist here.

Memory Of A Heart Attack Gets Stored In Genes: Study
The memory of a heart attack gets stored in genes through epigenetic changes -- chemical modifications of DNA that turns our genes on or off, a study has found.

Britain Allows First Genetic Modification of Embryos
The decision makes Britain one of the first countries in the world to grant this type of authorisation on one of science's new frontiers.

Britain Grants First Licence For Genetic Modification Of Embryos
Britain today granted its first licence to genetically modify human embryos for research into infertility and why miscarriages happen, in a move likely to raise ethical concerns.

Chinese 'Edit' Human Embryos, Scientists Urge Moratorium on Research
Global scientists on Thursday renewed calls to halt controversial research to genetically edit human embryos after a Chinese team published details of a stunted but breakthrough attempt in this new frontier in science.

US panel debates three-parent embryos
A US advisory board on Wednesday debated a controversial new technique that would use DNA from three people to produce embryos free of a particular type of hereditary disease.
