You are what you eat, but what happens to those calories after you eat may depend more on your genes than you think.
A domestic research team is developing an anticancer technology that attacks DNA mutations found only in cancer cells while ...
A South Korean research team is developing an anticancer technology that selectively targets DNA mutations found only in ...
Gene mutations have consequences both good and bad—from resistance to conditions like diabetes to susceptibility to certain cancers. In order to study these mutations, scientists need to introduce ...
Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a genetic disorder that causes remarkable premature aging. Most patients die ...
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 ...
Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...
ALS-causing NEK1 gene mutations disrupt cellular protein production machinery. Truncated NEK1 protein accumulates in the nucleolus, impairing ribosome biogenesis. This disruption leads to cell death ...
In the 1960s, Kimura’s neutral theory revolutionized molecular biology by arguing most DNA changes are random, not adaptive. A new study finds beneficial mutations are far more common than Kimura’s ...
