Researchers in the Landau lab, led by Dr. Dan Landau, hematology and medical oncology, recently developed a new technique to investigate how mutations in RNA splicing can lead to clonal hematopoiesis ...

The protein complex cohesin is fundamental to the cell division process, as it holds sister chromatids tightly together in a ringlike structure before a cell physically splits. But now researchers at ...

Researchers have identified 813 possible cancer driver genes, significantly expanding the list of potential therapeutic targets for treating the disease. The genes help cancer cells grow through a non ...

An international research team has uncovered a new mechanism crucial to the production of cellular proteins. When this mechanism is disrupted, the blueprints used by the cell to produce proteins are ...

It may be time to rethink certain genetic mutations associated with two devastating neurodegenerative disorders—amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)—according to a new ...

Scientists have discovered a mechanism that linked a leukemic mutation to varying potentials for disease development -- a discovery which could eventually lead to a way to identify patients with the ...

Synonymous mutations have long been ignored in cancer studies since they don’t affect the amino acid sequences of proteins. But research increasingly reveals that they can have disease-driving effects ...

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
