Neurogeneticists have discovered a novel genetic mutation and associated buildup of toxic proteins in the brain -- a type of buildup distinct from amyloid or tau, proteins that have long been the ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumour growth.

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the ...

Mapping diverse mutations within a cancer hotspot revealed that distinct variants drive tumor growth to different extents, which could guide anticancer therapies.

Neurogenetic disorders, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), are diseases caused by a defect in one or more genes, which can sometimes result in cognitive and motor impairments. Better ...

Your body contains trillions of cells, each carrying out specific functions to keep you alive. According to a 2016 article in PLOS Biology, about 97% of these cells are made up of red blood cells, ...
