Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

The use of ciprofloxacin and other antibiotics of the class of fluoroquinolones may be associated with disruption of the normal functions of connective tissue, including tendon rupture, tendonitis and ...

Tissue and cell-type identity lie at the core of human physiology and disease. Understanding the genetic underpinnings of complex tissues and individual cell lineages is crucial for developing ...

Our genomes help to determine who we are — the countless variations between individuals that encode the complexity of tissues and functions throughout the body. Since scientists first decoded a draft ...

A study has reached a major milestone in establishing a baseline understanding of gene expression across healthy human tissues, and linking genes to disease. Our genomes help to determine who we are - ...
