Genetic mutations aren't always a bad thing. A groundbreaking new study suggests that mutations on a single gene may actually be beneficial when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease. For the study, Dr.

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

I love a predictable schedule. Knowing when to eat, sleep and answer your questions keeps me chill. That how the cells that make up our bodies work, too. They grow and die on a predictable schedule.

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation ...

Tatiana Schlossberg, the youngest granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, recently revealed she was diagnosed with terminal acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to a rare genetic anomaly. In a ...

New study demonstrates how high-affinity B cells 'bank' their best traits instead of rolling the dice and risking deleterious mutations, with implications for better vaccine design. A vaccine's ...

Sickle cell disease is a hereditary condition, which means a person inherits it from their biological parents. The condition occurs when a person inherits two copies of the hemoglobin beta (HBB) gene ...

Researchers at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have developed a promising new immunotherapy targeting the CTNNB1 gene mutation associated with various aggressive cancers like lung ...
