Adverse genetic mutations can cause harm and are due to various circumstances. "Jumping genes" are one cause of mutations, ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations.

Although cystic fibrosis is a single gene mutation, there are more than 1,000 different ways the CFTR gene can mutate in ...

Scientists have systematically analyzed somatic mutations in stomach lining tissue to unpick mutational processes, some of which can lead to cancer. The team also uncovered hints of a potential new ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Researchers are conducting a groundbreaking trial that could revolutionize the way the body fights cancer, particularly for ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Findings on golidocitinib for patients with non-small cell lung cancer whose disease has progressed on anti-PD-1 therapy will ...

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a vaccine or pathogen, B cells scramble to refine their defenses, rapidly mutating ...

A recent study from Yale University has shed light on how different factors contribute to DNA mutations that drive cancer ...

An experimental treatment appears to delay Alzheimer’s symptoms in some people genetically destined to get the disease in ...

Researchers have uncovered a stealth survival strategy that melanoma cells use to evade targeted therapy, offering a ...
