May 3, 2021 Researchers have shown that developmental abnormalities, including those that lead to pregnancy loss, are controlled by the genetics of the fetus and placenta -- and not the mother's ...
Dec. 6, 2022 Consistent exercise can change not just waistlines but the very molecules in the human body that influence how genes behave, a new study of twins indicates. The study found that the more physically ...
Nov. 22, 2021 Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin can suffer from type 2 diabetes while the other twin does not develop the disease. Researchers have now discovered that there are differences in gene ...
May 24, 2022 Are women who have twins more fertile? While previous studies concluded they are, a detailed analysis of more than 100,000 births from pre-industrial Europe by an international team of scientists ...
May 10, 2021 Twins produce fewer gestures and gesture to fewer objects than other children. Language use also lags for twins, and language -- but not gesture -- is also affected by sex, with girls performing ...
Feb. 3, 2022 A person's appreciation of nature and their tendency to visit natural spaces are heritable characteristics, according to a large-scale study of UK ...
Nov. 27, 2023 Whether infants at five months of age look mostly at faces or non-social objects such as cars or mobile phones is largely determined by genes. The findings suggest that there is a biological basis ...
Sep. 6, 2023 A study of twins shows that having a concussion early in life is tied to having lower scores on tests of thinking and memory skills decades later as well as having more rapid decline in those scores ...
Nov. 1, 2023 A susceptibility to gain weight may be written into molecular processes of human cells, a new study indicates. The proof-of-concept study with a set of 22 twins found an epigenetic signature in ...
Apr. 9, 2021 A twin study indicates that the machinery responsible for energy handling in fat tissue is working poorly in obesity. In the study, a clear reduction was seen in the activity of mitochondrial genes ...
