KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene across all human cancers. Although different KRAS mutations have long been thought to exert the same cancer-driving effects, a new study led by UT ...
As our body ages, cells have to divide to replenish those that become worn out or damaged. Most cells also carry the genome in their nucleus, which has to be replicated each time cell division takes ...
Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...
Researchers of the Melnick Lab, led by Prof. Ari Melnick, medicine, recently published a study identifying a key mutation that disrupts the B-cell natural selection process during immune response, ...
Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...
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 ...
