SALT LAKE CITY—Cells with a mutation in the gene called K-Ras—found in close to 30 percent of all cancers, but mostly those with worst prognosis, such as pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, and lung ...
Scientists at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan have discovered how mutations related to a group of movement disorders produce their effects. Published in Proceedings of the National ...
The body relies on proteins for many functions; they are the essential building blocks of cells and work in maintenance, function, regulation and repair of organ systems and tissues. Strings of amino ...
Autophagy may keep cell division in check to help protect against cancer-causing DNA damage. Image of the Day: Cellular Breakdown Image of the Day: Cellular Breakdown Autophagy may keep cell division ...
A tumor can contain remarkable diversity, where even neighboring cells may differ greatly in terms of the mutations they contain. A device that can overcome this heterogeneity by enabling efficient ...
This produces point mutations in the DNA, which are mostly harmless but can sometimes lead to genetic disorders. In the new study, the Surrey researchers discovered that some of these modifications ...
Our bodies need vast numbers of proteins to function. Dysfunctional proteins, which can be produced by errors in the genes that encode for them, may cause disease. A lot of disease research has ...
Mutations in this related ErbB family member have been described in 10% of unselected lung adenocarcinomas but, to date, not in patients treated with EGFR TKIs or agents targeting ErbB2. 30 The ...
