Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, found in children with a rare form of early dementia, disrupts a tiny loop ...

Scientists discovered that certain gene changes allow cells to function even when frataxin, the protein lost in Friedreich’s ataxia, is missing. Experiments in worms, human cells, and mice revealed ...

In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology ...

University of California San Diego researchers have discovered the enzyme responsible for chromothripsis, a process in which ...

Scientists discovered that the protein RPA plays a critical and previously unconfirmed role in stimulating telomerase to ...

With a rate of mutation 35 percent higher than random chance, this previously unknown weakness could be a major vector for ...

This article explores how challenges such as sequence optimization, immune activation and off-target effects are being ...
