MEDLAB Middle East attracts more than 25,000 unique visitors and the exhibition floor area has grown considerably in recent years. MEDLAB is expanding its exhibition even further with two new halls, housing more than 500 exhibitors dedicated to sharing the most recent technology available in the IVD-, and medical laboratory market. The exhibition is open Monday […]
Nicotine is an addictive substance and genetic factors are known to play a role in smoking behaviours. Recently, a team of researchers at Penn State and the University of Colorado determined how small differences in a particular region of the mouse genome can alter nicotine consumption. Nicotine binds to and activates specific receptors on nerve […]
Humans evolved unique gene variants that protect older adults from neurodegenerative disease, thus preserving their valuable contributions and delaying dependency Many human gene variants have evolved specifically to protect older adults against neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, thus preserving their contributions to society, report University of California, San Diego School of Medicine researchers. “We unexpectedly discovered […]
Researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute are part of a consortium that has significantly expanded the number of genetic factors known to play a role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss among people age […]
Each year approximately 1 in 1,000 pregnant women will experience peripartum cardiomyopathy, an uncommon form of often severe heart failure that occurs in the final month of pregnancy or up to five months following delivery. But the cause of peripartum cardiomyopathy has been largely unknown – until now. Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine […]
The presence or absence of the CAP2 gene causes sudden cardiac death in mice, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. In particular, the absence of the gene interrupts the animal’s ability to send electrical signals to the heart to tell it to contract, a condition called […]
Chemicals used as flame retardants that are potentially harmful to humans are found in hair, toenails and fingernails, according to new research from Indiana University. The discovery of an easily available biomarker should ease the way for further research to determine the human impact of chemicals commonly found in the environment, including in indoor dust, […]
Researchers seeking to better understand how our genes contribute to stroke risk have completed what is believed to be the largest and most comprehensive review of the human genome to identify genes that predispose people to ischemic stroke, the cause of approximately 85 percent of all stroke cases. The research has confirmed the role of […]
IRB Barcelona has identified GEMC1 as a master gene for the generation of multiciliated cells—cells with fine filaments that move fluids and substances—which are found exclusively in the brain, respiratory tract, and reproductive system. Defects in multiciliated cells lead to ciliopathies—rare and complex diseases that are poorly understood and for which not all causative genes […]
Genetic errors identified in a new study led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may reduce risk of heart attacks and serve as a basis for developing new drugs designed to prevent heart disease. To reduce risk of heart attack, the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are clear. But genetics can still […]
