A large global genetics study shows that many key drivers of Type 2 diabetes operate outside the bloodstream. Scientists are ...

Medical professionals in China’s Jiangsu province have uncovered the genetic sequence behind a rare case of type P blood group – even rarer than the subtypes such as “dinosaur blood” or “panda blood.” ...

Scientists have taken a decisive step toward ending one of transplant medicine’s most stubborn bottlenecks: the need to match donor organs to a recipient’s blood type. By chemically reengineering a ...

An international study co-led by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Helmholtz Munich in Germany has ...

Human blood already comes in a bewildering variety of types, but researchers have now identified a new one so rare that only three people on the planet are known to carry it. The finding exposes just ...

Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are ...

Large-scale genetic analysis has helped researchers uncover the interplay between cancer-driving genetic mutations and inherited genetic variants in a rare type of blood cancer. Researchers from the ...

Your blood type isn’t just relevant when you need a transfusion. It fundamentally influences which diseases you’re most susceptible to throughout your life. Scientists have discovered that the ...

A global genetics study of over 2.5 million people shows Type 2 diabetes is driven by tissue-specific biological processes ...
