Our cells rely on tightly regulated signaling pathways to control when they grow, divide and survive. When these regulatory ...

A team of researchers led by Professor Akitsu Hotta (Department of Clinical Application) developed a comprehensive framework ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Genetic mutations aren't always a bad thing. A groundbreaking new study suggests that mutations on a single gene may actually be ...

A study published in Cell Stem Cell reveals that some mutations in blood stem cells might help protect against late-onset Alzheimer's disease. A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine ...

Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that ...

A first-in-class nanoparticle injection sneaks antibodies into pancreatic cancer cells to clear mutant KRAS, shrinking tumors ...

By examining how the viruses interact with immune systems in both human and bat cells, researchers found that a single ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the first time, in a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the ...

The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The research findings, published in Nature, have implications for ...

Researchers have found that a genetic mutation associated with a rare group of blood cancers does not always result in ...

In simple terms: a mutation is a stable change in genetic sequence that can be copied when cells or viruses replicate. Most mutations have no detectable effect, some contribute to disease, and a small ...
