Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells remain largely unknown—yet understanding this is crucial for optimizing ...

Researchers at the University of California have created a novel data structure and compression method that allows ...

Sickle cell diseases arises from hemoglobin protein mutations. The mutation causes red blood cells to form a sickle shape rather than a round one. One study suggests that this mutation could be ...

Scientists have identified a genetic mutation in a gene called SHLP2, which encodes for a microprotein in mitochondria, and can reduce a carrier's likelihood of developing Parkinson's disease by 50 ...

The root causes of most forms of Alzheimer’s disease largely remain a mystery. Now, researchers have revealed a new piece of the puzzle. Unexpectedly, the investigators found that 45 of 80 autopsy ...

Although research has delved into the potential link between clonal hematopoiesis and heart-related events such as heart attacks and strokes in patients with kidney cancer, more research is needed to ...

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...
