Genes

The APOE genes are not truly causative factors for developing Alzheimer’s disease, and some people who develop the disease don’t have the APOEe4 gene which does appear to be a risk factor.

The study revealed that the key to living longer may simply be in your genes.

Are we pre-programmed to learn, think or react in certain ways? How can we begin to test theories relating to our genes and how we feel or behave?

New discoveries are shedding light how our parents' personal experiences pass lasting genetic changes on to us.

From my experience I share some of the things I have done which I believe has helped me continue enjoying decent health.

Childhood obesity is overwhelmingly the result of bad diet and lack of exercise, rather than genetics or heredity, says a recent compelling study.

Mitochondria, those little windmills inside your cells were at one time bacteria--independent of the human organism...

The discovery of three new breast cancer genes may save thousands more lives every year.

When studying genes and genetics, it is important to understand some of the common terms associated with the study of genes.

Mendel conducted some of the earliest experiments involving genetics on pea plants. His experiments afforded the scientific community a lot of new information regarding genetics and the study of genes.

This 2008 release coincided with a world tour and truly reflects how far Noa (Achinoam Nini) has come both as an artist and a person.

The Longevity Genes Project at Albert Einstein College of Medicine led to a genetic test that forecasts your longevity.

Our genes are continually in a state of flux and are regulated or switched by our food, physical activity and the environment in which we live. All of these factors play a part in how our metabolism is directed to burn calories as fuel or for storage.

Man is a creature of evolution, as our genes are highly influenced by the food we eat and the environment which surrounds us. Diet and lifestyle can either promote good health or lead to the initiation of disease and an early demise.

A lot of human behavior can be explained by what we have inherited from our ancestors. Just go to the zoo and look at the apes.

As people are getting more affected by their outside look, the boldness problem seems to be ever more important

It's no secret that American waistlines continue to expand, despite regular headlines about the dire health consequences of excess body fat. We eat too much sugar, refined carbohydrates, junk food, fast food and hydrogenated trans fats.

Why are some people seemingly able to eat a diet loaded with heart clogging fried foods and fats, while others seem destined to poor health regardless of their diet? This question has plagued medical researchers for decades.

Researchers have been aware of the powerful health benefits of a Mediterranean style diet for the last decade, and information is emerging to revel how a critical component of the diet directly affects our genes to promote natural weight loss.

Although the name of the Longevity gene cannot be agreed on, there are several countries who have all come up with the same conclusion. Regardless of what country you are in there seems to be a gene that aids in predicting lifespan.

How it might be possible to activate parts of the brain through external & internal stimulation to cure diseases and beat aging.

We've always heard the timeless adage, 'you are what you eat', but most people don't realize that the foods we consume every day have a dramatic effect on the basic mechanism which controls our existence, our genes.

This article examines the possibility of manic depression being impacted by the environment.

Evolution and capitalism do not parallel each other, nor do they even begin to. Yet people still try to justify "crushing competition" by invoking their limited concept of what is an amazing and magnificent scientific phenomenon.

The assumption of genome research was that we would find within the genome the answers to all the mysteries of the body, disease, evolution, and our ultimate identity. We were wrong.

A look at how genes can cause diseases.

It's tempting to blame obesity on genetics, but a new study suggests that genes may not play as strong a role as previously thought. Get the full story.

Cell and molecular biology takes a leap. Instead of trying to obtain stem cells from live organisms, discoveries have been made to create artificial stem cells called induced pluripotent stem cells.
