In preliminary experiments with mice and lab-grown cells, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have found that a protein-signaling process accelerates the work of the gene most frequently ...
Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation ...
As our body ages, cells have to divide to replenish those that become worn out or damaged. Most cells also carry the genome in their nucleus, which has to be replicated each time cell division takes ...
Researchers of the Melnick Lab, led by Prof. Ari Melnick, medicine, recently published a study identifying a key mutation that disrupts the B-cell natural selection process during immune response, ...
The analysis revealed that about 2 per cent of sperm from men in their early 30s contained disease-causing mutations. That ...
A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.
The influenza (flu) virus is constantly undergoing a process of evolution and adaptation through acquiring new mutations. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have added a new layer of ...
A large new study, led by a team of geneticists from University College London and published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications, has investigated over 10,000 mutations to the ...
