In preliminary experiments with mice and lab-grown cells, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have found that a protein-signaling process accelerates the work of the gene most frequently ...
Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...
Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on ...

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.
Scientists have identified mutations in the CPD gene as a key cause of a rare congenital hearing loss, revealing how disruptions in arginine and nitric oxide signaling damage sensory cells in the ear.
About 40% of East Asians suffer from alcohol intolerance, known as "Asian Flush Syndrome," caused by an ALDH2 genetic ...
Scientists identify a high-altitude genetic mutation in yaks that produces ATDR, a Vitamin A metabolite that repairs myelin damage in MS and cerebral paralysis.
