A new study suggests a gene mutation could have a protective effect against Alzheimer's. The research looked specifically at blood stem cells, which live in the bone marrow and make different types of ...

A gastrointestinal oncologist told Newsweek that the early-stage findings are a “major step forward” in targeting colon ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Biology has clever ways to mask the effects of potentially harmful gene mutations. Scientists are investigating how this ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes on the immune system. It reveals a previously hidden role for somatic ...

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 ...
