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

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, ...

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Investigators exploring the genetic profile of a small number of adult ovarian granulosa cell tumors found that each had a specific missense point mutation in FOXL2 (402C > G [C134W]), a gene that had ...

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 ...
