Like every other cell in the human body, cancer cells also produce their own share of proteins for survival. During this production process, cells often encounter a glitch called ribosomal frameshifting. This exceptionally rare event occurs roughly onc…

New research from the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center found biological differences in pancreatic cancer tumors and immune environments, opening the possibility for more personalized treatments for different populations.

Adelaide University researchers have found a DNA «switch» that helps the body stop the growth of the most common form of breast cancer, providing new insights that could help with future treatments. Up to 80% of breast cancer cases are classified as es…

Over two decades of research into the cellular mechanisms underlying Lowe syndrome have led to the identification of a potential therapeutic strategy for this rare genetic disorder, which affects the eyes, nervous system and kidneys. The findings are d…

Pneumonia is a common and sometimes serious infection that affects 20,000–30,000 people in Sweden every year. Well-known risk factors include advanced age, smoking and underlying medical conditions. In a new study published in eBioMedicine, researchers…

A particular signaling protein in the brain could be a therapeutic target for neurological disorders arising from the deletion of the autism-linked gene MEF2C, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers found in a new mouse study published in …

A research team led by Dr. Sheng Nengyin of the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has reframed ZC4H2-associated rare disorder (ZARD)—a disorder marked by intellectual disability, developmental delays, muscle weakness…

WashU Medicine researchers have verified the accuracy of genetics tools to correctly identify all the rare DNA changes that make up an individual’s genomic mosaic, paving the way to understanding these variants’ impact on health and disease.

Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to profile tumor cells from patients with solid tumors, researchers at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS identified genetic alterations associated with cancer predisposition in 10% of the subje…

The American Society of Hematology has developed new reference ranges for children and adults with Duffy-null status, a common genetic trait associated with naturally lower circulating white blood cell counts that affects more than 66% of people with A…
