Hidden DNA weak spot near gene start mutates rapidly

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...
In patients with BRCA2-mutated mCSPC, treatment with Akeega significantly reduced the risk of radiographic progression or death by 54%. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Akeega ® ...
Amy Lindberg spent 26 years in the Navy and she still walked like it—with intention, like her chin had someplace to be. But around 2017, her right foot stopped following orders. Lindberg and her ...
Durable reprogramming of human T cells may now be possible thanks to a new technique based on the CRISPRoff and CRISPRon methodology. Researchers from the Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and the ...
A new study shows metformin enhances myelin repair in human-based models by tuning mitochondrial metabolism, offering hope for multiple sclerosis treatment. Study: Metformin alters ...
Introduction: V(D)J recombination, initiated by recombination-activating gene (RAG) endonucleases, is a crucial process for the generation of diversified antigen receptors of T and B lymphocytes but ...
Desperate times call for proactive measures. Nonprofits are navigating an immensely challenging economic and political context. Many find themselves thinking about the once-unthinkable: mergers, ...
Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA sequences that originate from ancient viruses and currently make up nearly half of the human genome. While TEs were once labeled as “junk” DNA with no ...
A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk," may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...
