Researchers at University of Tsukuba have elucidated the molecular pathogenesis of multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO), a rare hereditary disorder that frequently results in renal failure.
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...
