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.

KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene across all human cancers. Although different KRAS mutations have long been thought to exert the same cancer-driving effects, a new study led by UT ...

It took a while for the science to basically catch up to that suspicion.” In these types of “recessive” conditions, the ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the first time, in a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the ...

New study demonstrates how high-affinity B cells 'bank' their best traits instead of rolling the dice and risking deleterious mutations, with implications for better vaccine design. A vaccine's ...

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 ...

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 ...
