Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...
Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...
How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before in a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center. The researchers found that ...

Four decades after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster, the children of the workers are still living with the fallout. Until now, scientists haven't been sure whether the children of people ...
Cancer is often thought of as a single disease. Yet even tumors that arise in the same organ can follow very different ...
Sarah Diepstraten receives funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council, Cure Cancer Australia and My Room Children's Cancer Charity. John (Eddie) La Marca receives funding from ...
Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ICI-sensitive populations remains a challenge. Mutations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathway ...
While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...
