Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

The saying "cold hands, warm heart" is usually meant metaphorically—but new research from UC Davis School of Medicine and ...

A gene known as CTNNB1 encodes for a crucial protein called β-catenin, which has an important role in controlling tissue repair and cell growth. If this gene and its protein are dysfunctional, it can ...

There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. A team led by scientists at the German research ...

A genomic study of the largest pediatric and adult aplastic anemia cohort genetically profiled to date, finds that protective ...

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.

Researchers identified a new genetic mutation that may allow some people to survive, even thrive, on three hours of sleep. The mutation is called SIK3-N783Y. Scientists said mice test subjects ...
