The development of cancer is not a process triggered immediately by the emergence of an oncogenic mutation. There is growing ...

Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

University of Minnesota researchers say "SpudCell" is the most life-like synthetic cell yet, able to grow, divide and pass ...

Dental enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, protecting teeth from wear, temperature changes, and decay. However, enamel cannot regenerate once damaged. Inherited disorders, such as ...

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 ...

A new form of CAR T cell therapy has been designed to find and destroy the cancer-driving stem cells responsible for a group of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), while ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
