Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...
In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA using a genetic tool known as a base editor. The ...
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 ...
Impact of Genomic Alterations on Efficacy of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan Against Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2–Positive Advanced Gastric Cancer This was a prospective, cross-sectional, ...
A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...
New study shows that in women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, their breast cells already carry a clear pattern of DNA “damage ...
While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...
Université Laval provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation CA-FR. Université Laval provides funding as a member of The Conversation CA. I have always been fascinated by genetics, a ...
The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...
