Many people are familiar with histamine, a biological molecule that serves as a key driver of allergic reactions and other ...

Comprehensive maps of mutations in healthy and diseased gastric tissue give clues about how cancer arises and could inform early-detection strategies. Read the paper: The somatic mutation landscape of ...

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

Researchers have pinpointed what could be the early genetic origins of breast cancer -- cancer-like mutations appearing in the cells of healthy women. In a new study, the international collaborators ...

After an allogeneic stem cell transplant, a recipient’s body faces a daunting task: rebuilding the person’s blood-forming and immune systems from the ground up from a relatively small number of “seed” ...

While men may be able to have children much later than women, doing so could come with an increased risk of inherited disease for their children. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute have ...

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 ...
