Find out at the next U.C. Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) talk at Sunnyside Resort on March 27 at 6 p.m. Have you ever ridden a mountain bike alongside a tower of giraffes?

By Gina Kolata Researchers have corrected a disease-causing gene mutation with a single infusion carrying a treatment that precisely targeted the errant gene. This was the first time a mutated ...

This month's cover highlights the article Nup358 restricts ER-mitochondria connectivity by modulating mTORC2/Akt/GSK3β signalling by Joseph, Misha Kalarikkal and colleagues. The image shows a human ...

But in about 5% to 10% of cases, the cause is hereditary. This means that the cancer is due to a gene change, called a “mutation,” that’s passed down from a parent. Researchers have ...

Today, leukemia patients undergo genetic analysis to identify mutations and select the most appropriate treatment. However, even among patients with the same mutation, disease progression and ...

Having two copies of the MTHFR gene mutation may raise your risk for certain health conditions, though more research is needed. You may have the mutation and not find out unless you undergo ...

Another key discovery was a previously unnoticed p53 mutation (A276P) found in a subset of hTERT-RPE1 cells. This mutation weakened p53's ability to regulate certain genes but did not affect its ...

Mutation is the process wherein the name of the property owner is changed in the government’s land revenue records. This ensures that the land records correctly reflect the name of the existing owner ...

Despite their disease relevance, a comprehensive overview of the pathogenic effects of UTR mutations is still lacking. The medical genetics community has earnestly advocated for consideration of “UTR ...

This process isn't perfect, and errors can occur that affect genes within the chromosomes. Mutations in many different genes can be found in AML cells, but larger changes in one or more chromosomes ...
