New tumor map identifies high-risk B-cell lymphoma standard therapy may miss

Researchers led by Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt and Goethe University Frankfurt have identified how particularly aggressive forms of lymphoma can be recognized. By combining genetic and proteomic analyses, the scientists identified biological characteristics of tumors, particula

Common brain cancer mutation changes DNA shape to drive progression, exposing therapeutic

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has uncovered how one of the most common genetic alterations in glioma rewires the cancer cell genome to fuel tumor progression, suggesting a potential new therapeutic strategy for patients with ATR

Genetic information helps predict the onset and progression of glaucoma

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible visual impairment worldwide. Because the disease often progresses without symptoms for years, many patients are diagnosed only after permanent damage to the optic nerve has already occurred. Earlier detection through targeted screenin

Fibronectin pathway may drive Marfan aortic damage, opening new drug targets

A new study published in Nature Communications identifies a molecular signaling pathway that contributes to the development of life-threatening aortic aneurysms and dissections in Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting connective tissue. The findings provide new insight in

AI tool can identify biological profiles associated with thrombosis risk

Two people may be the same age and have similar family histories or risk factors, yet only one of them may develop thrombosis. To better understand why this occurs, researchers from the Complex Disease Genomics Unit at the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) and the Biomedi

Why does Parkinson's disease affect more men than women?

New research presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026 has discovered some of the genetic changes in brain cells that may help explain why more men than women develop Parkinson's disease.

Researchers chart a genetic path to diagnosing pulmonary fibrosis and predicting outcomes

Researchers have validated a genetic scoring tool that may help physicians diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and identify which patients are at greatest risk for severe outcomes, including death or the need for a lung transplant. The findings come from a new international st

Genetic insights into a fluid-related brain condition in newborns

Early detection and treatment of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly (CCV)—when a fetus's fluid-filled brain ventricles swell due to a condition called hydrocephalus—can help clinicians prevent developmental or neurological disabilities in affected infants. New research led by i

New approach to gene correction for iron storage disease

Hereditary primary hemochromatosis is caused by a single faulty building block in a gene. This leads to iron overload, which can have serious consequences for organs and joints. In preclinical studies, researchers have already successfully treated this genetic defect using a targ

Genetic study links IBS to lipid metabolism and triglyceride regulation

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects more than 10% of the general population, causing recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. IBS is considered a disorder of gut-brain interaction, and previous research, including genetic resear
