They also found that after the extra chromosome was removed, genes tied to nervous system development were more active and ...

Back in 1900 the life expectancy of people with Down Syndrome was 9 years. In 1984, it was 28 years, today it's leveled off ...

Researching the developmental impact of an extra chromosome 21 remains essential to develop better support systems that improve the life quality of Down syndrome patients. Genetic Basis of Down ...

A study conducted by Stylianos Antonarakis and his team in the Department of Genetic Medicine and Development at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) Faculty of Medicine, published in Nature, shed light ...

Cancer cells with extra chromosomes depend on those chromosomes for tumor growth, a new Yale study reveals, and eliminating them prevents the cells from forming tumors. The findings, said the ...

Using CRISPR gene-editing, the team eliminated extra chromosomes from cancer cells and found that they could no longer grow out of control. Healthy human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes ...

When scientists engineered one group of mice to keep the extra X chromosome completely silent, they discovered that the normal chromosome would still express over 20 genes in aging females.

Their work showed that without extra chromosomes, certain cancer cells can no longer seed tumors in animals. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, long threadlike structures made up of DNA and ...

Japanese researchers have successfully eliminated the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome using CRISPR gene ...
