Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

Genetic mutations aren't always a bad thing. A groundbreaking new study suggests that mutations on a single gene may actually be beneficial when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease. For the study, Dr.

Thousands of years ago, a special child was born in the Sahara. At the time, this was not a desert; it was a green belt of savannas, woodlands, lakes and rivers. Bands of hunter-gatherers thrived ...

A genetic mutation passed from mother to children in families affected by schizophrenia has now been shown to completely ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

In Brazil, the early detection of genetic alterations in lung cancer through liquid biopsies could be a valuable tool for ...

The traditional view of human genetics is that we are born with a genome that provides a predictive model of our risks of developing different diseases. With a few exceptions, such as cancer, genetic ...

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a vaccine or pathogen, B cells scramble to refine their defenses, rapidly mutating ...
