A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies—misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein.

A new study published in Nature Genetics reveals that not all cancer-associated mutations in the same gene behave alike. Led ...

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the ...

A new proof-of-concept method reliably engineered a hotspot mutation of SF3B1, a gene-splicing gene, into diverse cancer cell lines, outperforming other contemporary editing approaches. Oncogenesis ...

Believed to be caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors, Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive disease that affects the central nervous system, particularly the motor system, ...

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.

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth ...

Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

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 ...
