Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...

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” ...

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.

A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors with almost no way to intervene. Researchers have now traced that ...

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 ...

In Brazil, the early detection of genetic alterations in lung cancer through liquid biopsies could be a valuable tool for ...

A study published in Cell Stem Cell reveals that some mutations in blood stem cells might help protect against late-onset Alzheimer's disease. A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine ...

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.

A new study suggests a gene mutation could have a protective effect against Alzheimer's. The research looked specifically at blood stem cells, which live in the bone marrow and make different types of ...
