Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that ...
Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation that sabotages one of the brain’s key protective enzymes. The discovery not ...
Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes this protection, allowing harmful molecules to damage cell membranes and ...
Aplastic anemia is a rare blood disorder in which patients cannot make enough blood cells. This life-threatening disease is a result of the immune system attacking blood stem cells. The condition has ...
A single sperm donor who carries a rare cancer-causing genetic mutation has fathered at least 197 children across 14 countries in Europe, according to a collaborative investigation by 14 European news ...
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that predominantly affect adolescents and young adults. Notably, geographical disparities in GCT incidence exist, with higher rates ...
UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...
In mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, TP53 mutations are known to affect patients’ prognosis—but questions remain. What does the heterogeneity of TP53 ...
