For the second time in one extended family, researchers have identified a person who seemed genetically destined to develop early Alzheimer’s, but remained cognitively sound for several more decades.

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

Labrador retrievers are dogs that are known as friendly and outgoing companions that are good for families. They are larger dogs that usually weigh between 55 and 80 pounds. New research has ...

JULIE: SCIENTISTS IN NEBRASKA’S PUBLIC HEALTH LAB DISCOVER TWO NEW COVID-19 MUTATIONS. BUT THIS TIME, IT MAY BE GOOD NEWS ROB: THESE VARIANTS MAY BE "SIGNIFICANT IN REDUCING THE VIRUS’S ABILITY TO ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

One of the most challenging moments in cancer treatment comes when a therapy stops working. In many metastatic cancers, drugs ...

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic ...

Drugs targeting mutations in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK) are already useful in lung cancer, but they may also find a use in the treatment of leukemias. ALK mutations were found in two ...

Elizabeth Mitchell prepares to load a genetic sequencer at the Nebraska Public Health Laboratory in Omaha. The new technology is helping the lab look for coronavirus variants and try to stay ahead of ...
