Researchers in Class of 1942 Professor of Chemistry Matthew D. Shoulders' lab have uncovered a sinister hidden mechanism that ...
Researchers at City of Hope have found that cell mutations are necessary but not always sufficient for tumors to form. Instead, they suggest that additional risk factors that promote tumor growth, ...
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 ...
A study entitled "IER3IP1-mutations cause microcephaly by selective inhibition of ER-Golgi transport", now published in the open access journal "Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences", provides new ...
Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism ...
Researchers have identified a mechanism which can explain aspects of neurodegeneration which have baffled scientists for ...
Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.
Patients with CaV2.1 channelopathies face severe and often debilitating symptoms, such as seizures, migraines, tremors, and ...
UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland is enrolling patients in an innovative clinical trial that seeks to cure sickle cell disease. The trial is the first in the U.S. to apply non-viral CRISPR-Cas9 ...
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 ...
