New drug boosts foetal haemoglobin to fight sickle cell disease
Researchers are exploring the potential use of HDAC inhibitors, a group of drugs known for their capability to impede tumour cell division, to reduce the pain and damage associated with sickle cell disease. The drugs have shown initial evidence of reactivating the gene responsible for producing foetal haemoglobin, which cannot…

USC researchers zoom into human genome with mammal DNA
USC researcher Dr Steven Gazal and his team have identified human genome base pairs that have remained constant over millions of years of mammalian evolution. These base pairs are linked to human disease. Using DNA from 240 mammal species, they identified genetic variations affecting an individual's survival and reproduction.
