Genetic Factors Impacting Nutritional Requirement   While nutrition has a very recognizable role in overall health management, the role of genetics in nutritional impact is yet to be fully understood.

Innovative computer software sheds new light on genetic processes underlying deadly diseases   Innovative computer software developed by University of Leicester scientists is shedding new light on the genetic makeup of deadly pathogens responsible for meningitis and gastroenteritis.         Genetically modifying zebrafish provides numerous, highly accurate disease models   Research published today describes how zebrafish can be genetically engineered to produce more accurate models of human disease.

Study uses novel approach to investigate genetic origins of mental illnesses   A study in Biological Psychiatry has established a new analytical method for investigating the complex genetic origins of mental illnesses using brain cells that are grown in a dish from human embryonic stem cells.       New genome editing tool used to heal genetic disease   Parents of newborns may be familiar with the metabolic disorder phenylketonuria: in Switzerland, all newborn babies are screened for this genetic disease.       Researchers identify common genetic connection in lung conditions   An international research team led by members of the University of Colorado School of Medicine faculty has identified a genetic connection between rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.       Gut-on-a-chip to model coeliac disease   A gut-on-a-chip mimics the properties of the human gut and in our case those of coeliac disease patients. Using blood or urine we are able to derive induced pluripotent stem cells which in turn can be differentiated into intestinal epithelial cells.
