Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have shown that specific brain cells respond differently to H3.3 K27M, a ...

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 ...

A new RNA search engine can scan millions of cells in seconds for mutations, pathogens, isoforms and other biological clues.

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a vaccine or pathogen, B cells scramble to refine their defenses, rapidly mutating ...

Two groups studied the same cancer mutations in the blood. They agreed on many aspects, including the mechanism at work. But ...

The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The research findings, published in Nature, have implications for ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the first time, in a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the ...

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 ...
