This genetic mutation helps yaks survive at high elevations. It could lead to treatments for nerve damage in humans
Some animals, including yaks and Tibetan antelopes, thrive at high elevations where oxygen levels are low. In humans, however, insufficient oxygen during development can lead to problems such as ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...
An inherited form of blindness directly comparable to a common inherited optic nerve disease in humans has been discovered in ...
Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the University of British Columbia are extending those possibilities to the skin for ...
