Study Shows Nearly One-Third of Human Genome is Involved in Gingivitis For the first time, US scientists have successfully identified gene expression and biological pathways involved in the onset and healing process of gingivitis, a condition affecting more than 50% of the UK adult population, and which if left untreated, can potentially lead to heart [ Read More ]
In Youngest Babies, This Type of Blood Cancer Is Most Challenging Pediatric oncologists have identified specific genes, dubbed partner genes, that fuse with another gene to drive an often-fatal form of leukemia in infants. By more accurately defining specific partner genes, researchers expect to better predict which infants may benefit from particular treatments. Oncologists also [ Read More ]
