A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors ...
Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation ...
Since its discovery, Alzheimer's disease has been considered irreversible. Consequently, research has focused on preventing ...
Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...
