Scientists from UC Davis Center for Surgical Bioengineering, the MIND Institute and UC Berkeley’s Murthy Lab are developing ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Researchers working on an incurable blood cancer can now use a new lab model that could make testing potential new treatments and diagnostics easier and quicker, new research has found. Working with ...

New research finds that retinal diseases thought to map one-to-one to genetic mutations are more complicated than that.

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before. Researchers found that antiviral enzymes that mutate the DNA of normal and cancer cells are key promoters of early ...

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. A team led by scientists at the German research ...

DNA analysis is a crucial tool for identifying harmful pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, that cause infections.
