Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified genetic changes in blood stem cells from frequent blood donors that support the production of new, non-cancerous cells. Understanding the ...

Columnist Michael Le Page delves into a catalogue of hundreds of potentially beneficial gene mutations and variants that is ...

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.

Scientists studying how microbes evolve have long assumed that nearly all new genetic mutations get passed down at a predictable pace and usually without either helping or hurting the microbe in ...

Blood donation is an important way to support community health. A consistent, reliable and safe blood supply is necessary for providing proper healthcare to trauma victims, surgical support, and other ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...

Frequent blood donors may have genetic changes that promote the production of new, non-cancerous cells. Donating blood can save someone’s life; now researchers have discovered that it could ...

Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The established conservation practice of relocating animals from large, genetically diverse populations to small communities of inbred endangered species may risk introducing more ...

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.
