By Nancy Lapid April 17 (Reuters) - Researchers have developed a modified version of the CRISPR gene-editing tool that in early laboratory experiments suggests it may have the potential to “silence” ...
Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that affects males who are born with an extra X chromosome. Normally, males have one X and one Y chromosome, making a total of 46 chromosomes. In this ...
A new study may explain why women live longer and why their brains are less prone to cognitive decline. The study explored the untapped potential of women’s extra X chromosome. Researchers are hopeful ...

UCSF researchers may have discovered how the female brain remains resilient in aging, answering an age-old question of how most women outlive men and retain their cognitive abilities longer. Females ...
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and collaborators across the country have conducted the largest and most diverse study of men with extra X or Y chromosomes in the US ...
The reason female brains have less cognitive aging may be due to the reawakening of the dormant X chromosome late in life, which turns on genes that help sustain healthy brain cell connections. This ...
Autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are more common in women than men, and scientists are still trying to figure out why. One reason may be related to the number of X ...
