Gaps remain in biomedical research in frontotemporal dementia; however, there are several means by which these gaps can be bridged.

Researchers hoped to identify clues that will lead to the development of new treatments for age-related macular degeneration, CWRU said in a recent news release. CWRU and VA researchers examined ...

Macular degeneration is very common and affects an estimated 19.8 million people in the United States. Approximately one in 10 Americans age 50 and older have an early form of the disease and as many ...

With so many at-home DNA tests now available, learning more about your genetics and ancestry is easier than ever. All you have to do is choose an online service, receive a DNA testing kit ...

On the surface, the movement disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and the cognitive disorder frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), which underlies ...

Here authors show reserpine's disease gene-independent influence on photoreceptor survival and emphasizes the importance of considering biological sex in understanding inherited retinal degeneration ...

Fibroid degeneration occurs when a uterine fibroid outgrows its limited blood supply and begins to die. Fibroids are benign uterine growths made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous tissue. Some people ...

Unlike subcutaneous fat that lies just beneath our skin, visceral fat accumulates around our internal abdominal organs, including the liver, pancreas and intestines. This type ...

Established in October 2024 and the largest of its kind in South-east Asia, the Ocular Genetics Service (OGS) provides a centralised and specialised approach to diagnosing and managing inherited ...

Whole genome sequencing, which is also being used widely to improve treatments of difficult-to-diagnose diseases as well as for genetic screening of newborns, has given hope to patients with ...

The research, published in the Journal of Genetic Counselling, interviewed 13 people - both parents and non-parents - who are at risk of developing familial frontotemporal dementia (fFTD).

The study identifies 106 genetic variants linked to occupational status, highlighting the interplay between genetics, family environment, and childhood aspirations.
