Experts from the University of Nottingham have discovered how a common genetic mutation disrupts the positioning of a key protein during cell division, revealing a new mechanism behind acute myeloid ...

Somatic mutations, the DNA changes that occur as our bodies grow and age, not only hold an important key to cancer but are ...

A small number of random genetic mutations cause simple RNA droplets to transform into cell-like structures. In this process, ...

A new evolutionary analysis shows that NOTCH1 mutations flourish in normal esophageal tissue but epistatically suppress the ...

A new Nature Communications study reveals how the common AML mutation NPM1c+ exploits failures in mitotic chromosome ...

Researchers in a Mayo Clinic-led study have shown how to detect a broad range of DNA mutations in noncancerous human tissues ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by ...

A research team led by professor Chan Kui-ming from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at CityUHK discovered that H2BE113K ...

Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang and his neuroscience colleague Mengmeng Jin have made a discovery they say could reshape how scientists think about Alzheimer's treatment. Their study, published in ...

A new study shows that newly acquired cell mutations interact with inherited mutations—those passed down by your parents—in important ways that influence your lifetime cancer risk. As we age, our ...

In mouse bone marrow, mesenchymal stem cells (red), which normally nurture blood stem cells, produce a signal that is attractive for monocytes (green). The monocytes in turn prod nearby blood stem ...

In mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, TP53 mutations are known to affect patients’ prognosis—but questions remain. What does the heterogeneity of TP53 ...
