A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for therapeutics. Among them, the Y220C mutation is the ninth most frequent and it ...

Prof. Lukas Dow, biochemistry, and his team published a study in Nature on Aug. 16, detailing a new, more specific gene editing tool that they created to study cancer mutations through preclinical ...

For patients with disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, mutations in the same gene could require different treatments, according to new research from Yale School of Medicine (YSM). Many ...

More than 30 types of muscular dystrophy have been identified. They all cause problems with movement due to muscle protein defects caused by genetic mutations. Muscular dystrophy is a group of ...
