Papua New Guinea great and Super League cult figure Stanley Gene on why turning on a tap in his homeland was his greatest rugby league achievement.

A gene that makes some compounds taste bitter may make it harder for some people to add heart-healthy vegetables to their diet. Researchers hope to learn more from this type of genetic research to help people with aversions to certain foods eat more vegetables in the future.

A team of researchers has found a way to identify gene regulatory elements that could help produce 'designer' plants and lead to improvements in food crops at a critical time.

For the first time, prostate cancer has been treated based on the genetic makeup of the cancer, resulting in delayed disease progression, delayed time to pain progression, and potentially extending lives in patients with advanced, metastatic prostate cancer, reports a large phase 3 trial. This marks a significant advance for prostate cancer treatment, which has lagged behind other common cancers with regard to precision therapy, now the standard of care in breast, ovarian and lung cancers.

Scientists have developed a computer method that may help improve understanding and treatment of Crohn's disease, which causes inflammation of the digestive tract. The study used artificial intelligence to examine genetic signatures of Crohn's in 111 people. The method revealed previously undiscovered genes linked to the disease, and accurately predicted whether thousands of other people had the disease.

AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek wants to be worth as much as €70million by the time he eventually leaves the club.  Piatek signed for Milan in January after enjoying an extraordinary start to life in Serie A at Genoa. The Poland striker scored 13 league goals in 19 appearances during the first half of the 2018-19 ...]

Researcher develops a method for measuring gene expression noise across single cells in complex tissue.

Researchers from the Intermountain Healthcare Heart Institute in Salt Lake City have identified new mutations in a gene commonly associated with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDC), a disease that weakens the heart muscle, making it more difficult to adequately circulate blood to meet the body's needs.

No one should underestimate China's will to safeguard its sovereignty and Hong Kong's stability, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a daily news briefing on Monday.

Deletion of the gene that codes for an enzyme called GSTM1 increased kidney injury in mice with hypertension and kidney disease, but supplementing the diet with broccoli powder lessened kidney injury in the genetically altered mice. In humans, high consumption of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables was linked with a lower risk of kidney failure, primarily in individuals lacking GSTM1.
