Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Genomic studies of cancer patients have revealed thousands of mutations linked to tumor development. However, for the vast majority of those mutations, researchers are unsure of how ...

Genomic studies of cancer patients have revealed thousands of mutations linked to tumor development, but researchers are unsure how the vast majority of these mutations contribute to cancer because ...

For patients with disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, mutations in the same gene could require different treatments, according to new research from Yale School of Medicine (YSM). Many ...

In Brazil, the early detection of genetic alterations in lung cancer through liquid biopsies could be a valuable tool for ...

When people donate blood, stem cells in the bone marrow make new blood cells to replace what was lost. This stress can drive the selection of certain clones—groups of blood cells with a slightly ...

Researchers have identified genetic changes in blood stem cells from frequent blood donors that support the production of new, non-cancerous cells. Understanding the differences in the mutations that ...
