In ‘Enormous Success,’ Scientists Tie 52 Genes to Human Intelligence
posted on
6/22/2017 8:33:00 PM
Genetics figured out that it makes some people smarter than others. The DNA of intelligent people differs from others in fewer mutations! So there is no "intelligence gene", but heredity takes place. That's where the genetic scissors come in handy!

A Lack of 'Editing' in The Brain Could Be What's Driving The Most Aggressive Tumours
posted on
6/19/2017 7:35:00 PM
Brain cancer is often a devastating diagnosis, and scientists have been hunting for mechanisms that could explain the sources of brain tumours, with hopes to also find something that could prevent them.

CRISPR tech leads to new screening tool for Parkinson's disease
posted on
6/7/2017 5:53:00 PM
A team of researchers is using breakthrough gene-editing technology to develop a new screening tool for Parkinson's disease, a debilitating degenerative disorder of the nervous system. The technology allows scientists in the lab to 'light up' and then monitor a brain protein called alpha-synuclein that has been associated with Parkinson's.
