Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players ...

Errors in chromosome segregation cause more than 80% of early human embryos to contain cells with an incorrect number of chromosomes, a phenomenon called aneuploidy. While aneuploid cells are normally ...
