Twin studies reveal genetic components leading to cardiac and kidney disease
Daniel O'Connor, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has studied about 265 twin pairs over the past few years, which has led him to some surprising discoveries. view more (2007-04-18)
European drive for post-genomic research European Commission awards EUR39.4 million to three large-scale projects
In a drive to gear up research on genomics - the study of genes and their function - the European Commission has awarded EUR 39.4 million to three large research projects. The funding is a prelude to the EUR2.2 billion earmarked for "genomics research for human health" in the next Community research programme to be launched later this... view more... (2002-03-18)
Embryo biopsy does not affect early growth and risk of congenital malformations in PGD/PGS babies
A study of 70 singleton babies born after preimplantation genetic diagnosis and screening has shown that the procedure does not adversely affect their early growth and risk of congenital malformations. view more (2008-07-08)

Multiple pregnancies: Vienna meeting reveals new research
The continuing high rate of multiple pregnancies in assisted reproduction is a major medical, psychosocial and economic problem. But it could be solved overnight if only doctors weren't too hesitant to act, a leading Swedish specialist in reproductive medicine told a news briefing today (Monday 1 July) at the annual meeting of the European Society... view more...

New research confirms that natural selection is acting on the current human population
New evidence suggests that natural selection is leading women to have their first child at earlier ages. This is shown to be an inherited evolutionary change that is taking place despite the influence of social factors such as religion and education. The findings, by a team of British, Australian and American scientists, show for the first time... view more... (2001-04-23)

Gut check: Tracking the ecosystem within us
For more than 100 years, scientists have known that humans carry a rich ecosystem within their intestines. An astonishing number and variety of microbes, including as many as 400 species of bacteria, help humans digest food, mitigate disease, regulate fat storage, and even promote the formation of blood vessels. view more (2007-06-26)
Type-1 diabetes not so much bad genes as good genes behaving badly, Stanford research shows

Keeping It In The Family
Blood really can be thicker than water in the insect world, a team of biologists at The University of Nottingham say in the journal Nature this week. The researchers, studying the unusual life-cycle of a parasitic wasp, found its larvae refused to attack close relatives even under extreme starvation conditions.
