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 ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

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.

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

After an allogeneic stem cell transplant, a recipient’s body faces a daunting task: rebuilding the person’s blood-forming and immune systems from the ground up from a relatively small number of “seed” ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

A study published in Cell Stem Cell reveals that some mutations in blood stem cells might help protect against late-onset Alzheimer's disease. A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine ...

Researchers at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have developed a promising new immunotherapy targeting the CTNNB1 gene mutation associated with various aggressive cancers like lung ...

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.

A new study suggests a gene mutation could have a protective effect against Alzheimer's. The research looked specifically at blood stem cells, which live in the bone marrow and make different types of ...
