Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a ...

We identified 30 areas in the genome linked to OCD, containing 249 genes of interest in total. Of those, 25 genes stood out as likely contributors to the development of OCD.

SAN DIEGO — Epigenetic changes — particularly altered DNA methylation — at birth may be associated with risk for metabolic dysfunction later in life, according to research presented at ...

Primary outcomes included cannabis use in the last 12 months, past 12-month use of edible cannabis, cannabis smoking, cannabis vaping, and co-use of alcohol and cannabis. Secondary outcomes included ...

In September 2023, social media posts suggested that a study found that vaping could "shrink male testicles and cause sperm counts to plummet." One such example included a post that was shared to ...

Other 2023 research suggests that the chemicals a person inhales when vaping can cause changes to the cells that can potentially increase the risk of developing oral cancer.

DNA methylation profiles were generated from blood samples. Ultimately, the researchers found that frequent use of high-potency cannabis- defined as having a Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content ...

Vaping could trigger the same cancer-causing changes to DNA as tobacco, new research suggests. In the most comprehensive study of its kind, experts from the Keck School of Medicine in southern ...

There is a lack of research on how vaping changes DNA methylation. A recent study observed some parallels between vapers and smokers in differentially methylated region-associated genes. The ...

Although there is no tobacco in vapes, the chemicals in them are of concern for lung health and cancer risk. In vaping, a ...
