By studying genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, scientists have with unprecedented detail revealed why fewer than ...

The study sheds light on the significance of the maternal microbiota and the mechanisms by which it affects individual development and pregnancy. In a Finnish study, significant differences in the ...

Children with a family history of type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of developing the disease. However, children born to mothers with T1D are less likely to develop the disease than those ...

Studying over 100,000 embryos revealed genetic factors behind chromosome segregation issues that lead to aneuploidy, ...

A new study uses time-resolved transcriptomic and proteomic data from fetal cells of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)—the master circadian clock in the hypothalamus of the brain—in rat models, to ...

Mothers leave their mark on their children in many ways - and researchers have discovered a protein called SMCHD1 is involved in this 'imprinting' process. SMCHD1 switches certain genes off, altering ...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body destroys its own insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas, leaving patients with a lifelong dependency on external insulin. Children ...
