Now, by introducing the Icelandic mutation into an Alzheimer's disease mouse model that lacked the Swedish mutation, a team led by Hiroki Sasaguri of the RIKEN Center for Brain Science has shown ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC), a type of cancer that affects the large intestine and rectum, is one of the leading causes of cancer ...

The study made a bold assertion, considering that new DNA mutations, not present in mother or father, contribute to the cause. Testing this assertion required that individuals with spina bifida ...

The team is optimizing the cancer genome analysis system to integrate it into CRC diagnosis and tailor treatments based on ...

By uncovering the earliest mutations and risk factors associated with stomach cancer and developing a sophisticated pre-cancer model, these studies offer invaluable insights for current prevention ...

A new model mouse for the neurodegenerative disorder has helped uncover the protective mechanism of a genetic mutation Figure 1: A micrograph showing inflammatory responses in the cortex of the new ...

This study aimed to investigate the prognostic potential of pathogenic KRAS G12, G13, or Q61 mutations harbored by circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in resectable PDAC prior to treatment initiation using ...

A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function.
