A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

Genetic mutations aren't always a bad thing. A groundbreaking new study suggests that mutations on a single gene may actually be beneficial when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease. For the study, Dr.

Believed to be caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors, Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive disease that affects the central nervous system, particularly the motor system, ...

Many people are familiar with histamine, a biological molecule that serves as a key driver of allergic reactions and other ...

Seemingly healthy aging tissues can already carry cancer-linked mutations, thanks to a new single-cell mapping breakthrough, according to the Cornell Chronicle. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine ...

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation that sabotages one of the brain’s key protective enzymes. The discovery not ...

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a psychiatric disorder with onset in adulthood, and is thought to be triggered by some combination of environmental factors and genetics. However, the exact cause of the ...

Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...

Researchers at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have developed a promising new immunotherapy targeting the CTNNB1 gene mutation associated with various aggressive cancers like lung ...

Gene therapy has the potential to dramatically benefit patients with genetic blood disorders, but a small study on participants in a clinical trial for sickle cell disease suggests that a key process ...

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 ...
