It takes two to tango, and two to trigger Parkinson’s. New research identifies the "partners in crime" genes that work together to overwhelm the brain’s waste-management system.

A groundbreaking Alzheimer's study has developed a unique genetic map, revealing crucial insights into gene activity and potential disease-driving sequences in the brain.

Study identified numerous influential “hub genes” that offer promising new targets for early detection and therapeutic intervention.

Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how genes control one another inside the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. Using a powerful new AI-based system called SIGNET, the team ...

AI-powered gene maps reveal the hidden control centers driving Alzheimer’s disease — and point to new hope for treatment.

Euan Ashley's lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny "typos," or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health ...

A new Alzheimer's study has produced a first-of-its-kind genetic map, which could provide vital insights into the cause-and-effect sequences of gene activity that may be driving the disease in the ...

An individual’s genetics and their environment both shape their personality. However, opinions differ on the degree to which each of these factors influences personality, and how they contribute to ...
