We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Researchers have produced a comprehensive picture of insulin signalling in mice and suggest that it is shaped by entangled effects of genetics and diet. Researchers have produced a comprehensive ...

Researchers have produced a comprehensive picture of insulin signaling in mice and suggest that it is shaped by entangled effects of genetics and diet. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...

People with Type 1 diabetes lose insulin-producing beta cells due to an autoimmune reaction, forcing lifelong dependence on ...

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...

Scientists have refined a new way of using genetics to identify whether someone has type 1 or type 2 diabetes in Chinese populations—and it is now being used in a large clinical trial to improve ...

In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral infections while also minimizing the ...

An analysis of insulin-controlled proteins in the skeletal muscle of genetically distinct mice sheds light on the interplay between genes and diet in type 2 diabetes. Researchers have produced a ...
