A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...

Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for therapeutics. Among them, the Y220C mutation is the ninth most frequent and it ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

Researchers have pinpointed what could be the early genetic origins of breast cancer -- cancer-like mutations appearing in the cells of healthy women. In a new study, the international collaborators ...

Think of the bone marrow as the body’s factory for blood and immune cells. In myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), that factory breaks down—producing too few cells, and the ones that do roll off the line ...

Many people are familiar with histamine, a biological molecule that serves as a key driver of allergic reactions and other ...

Biological aging undeniably affects human cognitive function. 1 However, how this happens—the underlying factors, interactions, and processes—remains unclear. He and his team want to understand how ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

A new study suggests that the mitochondria in human egg cells don't accumulate DNA mutations with age, which sets them apart from other tissues in the body. When you purchase through links on our site ...

Scientists are warning the public about bird flu after a patient in Louisiana showed mutations that could increase the transmission of the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ...
