Researchers mapped more than 100 mutations that allow diverse HIV-1 strains to evade broadly neutralizing antibodies.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are among the most promising new treatments for HIV, offering the potential to forego traditional daily dose of antiretroviral drugs.

Unexpected genetic benefit: A PTPN22 mutation tied to autoimmune diseases helped mice survive otherwise lethal coronavirus infection by enhancing natural killer cell function. Therapeutic potential: ...

An electronic 96-channel pipette was one of the tools used to scale up and allow the teamto perform over 7,000 parallel experiments that uncovered more than 100 bNAb escapemutations across 15 viral ...

Researchers working on an incurable blood cancer can now use a new lab model that could make testing potential new treatments and diagnostics easier and quicker, new research has found. Working with ...

Researchers discovered a genetic mutation that could explain why some individuals thrive on as little as three hours of sleep per night. The study, published on May 5 in the journal Proceedings of the ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Roughly a quarter of all cancerous tumors are caused by mutations in the KRAS gene, which fosters cell growth. For more than three decades, scientists believed these mutations were impervious to ...
