Blood does more than just carry oxygen and nutrients. Its many “markers,” known as antigens, can trigger unexpected responses. Most folks have heard about the blood groups A, B, and O, and the Rh ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington's is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, but they didn't know how the mutation causes brain cell death. A study ...

One of the earliest strains of bird flu isolated from a human in Texas shows a unique constellation of mutations that enable it to more easily replicate in human cells and cause more severe ...

Video: Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard At a glance: Study explains long-standing question of why Huntington’s disease symptoms typically do not appear until midlife even though patients are born ...

This is why it decided to pause the Model Y lines at Giga Shanghai over the Chinese New Year holiday. According to a Bloomberg report, the Model Y lines will stop production on January 22 so that ...

Researchers in the group of Dr. Myriam Charpentier discovered a mutation in a gene in the legume Medicago truncatula that reprograms the signaling capacity of the plant so that it enhances ...

A mutation that causes an amino-acid substitution in a channel called CNGC15 in the plant cell’s nucleus boosts the formation of such endosymbiotic relationships. Studying ion channels in their ...

This means that the damage has multiple chances to generate harmful mutations, which can lead to cancer. While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms ...

The Garvan team revealed that this is not the case -- rather, the critical trigger is mutations in 'rogue clone' B cells. "This discovery fundamentally changes our understanding of how infections ...

Researchers have identified a novel genetic risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection, providing new insights into the virus’ ability to invade human cells. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that spreads COVID-19.

A new report indicates that production has also started at Giga Berlin on January 14. This suggests that Europeans will soon be able to order the refreshed model while pending orders will be ...
