Acquired DNA mutations found in the SERPINA1 gene can protect liver cells from damage in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin ...

The way in which blood stem cells evolve over a lifespan differs greatly between humans and mice, new research reveals. The ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. Researchers make hiPSCs by harvesting somatic cells—often from skin—from a person and then reprogramming them to enter an embryonic-like state. Nik-Zainal says that ...

Neurons collected from brain lesions in MS patients were found to accumulate new genetic mutations faster than healthy nerve ...

How do mutations happen, and how do they influence the future of a species? Molecules of sickle-cell hemoglobin stick to one another, forming rigid rods. These rods cause a person's red blood ...

The way in which blood stem cells evolve over a lifespan differs greatly between humans and mice, new research reveals. The ...

“It’s the first report of somatic mutations being passed [via reproductive cells] in an animal, as far as I can tell,” says Daniel Schoen, an evolutionary biologist at McGill University who was not ...

Scientists from UCLA, the University of Toronto and the University of Melbourne have uncovered new genetic clues that explain why some prostate cancers remain slow-growing while others become ...

Shah and colleagues take advantage of the presence of maternal and somatic ribosomes in zebrafish and confirm their differential expression during development. The authors convincingly show that ...
