A newly identified and rare genetic variant slows the growth of mutated blood stem cells and reduces the risk of leukemia.

Researchers are adding new evidence to the emerging concept that 'silent' or synonymous mutations may have crucial consequences. Their study showed how a synonymous mutation in one gene can ...

Cancer associated macrophages in blood correlates with poor outcomes in patients with clinically resectable disease in gastrointestinal cancers. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ASCO ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

The stability of ribonucleoprotein complexes of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins differs among variants of concern and the viral evolution of nucleocapsid protein can be understood in the framework of ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body's defense ...
