Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

A gene known as CTNNB1 encodes for a crucial protein called β-catenin, which has an important role in controlling tissue repair and cell growth. If this gene and its protein are dysfunctional, it can ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on mutation processes that contribute to cancer and inherited genetic conditions ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type ...

Hormones can have a significant impact on the body, and many of them are produced and released from the pituitary gland. In a condition called hypopituitarism, there is a problem with the production ...

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.

Khaberni - Nearly four decades after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster, a new study reveals clear evidence of some effects of radiation exposure being passed to the next generation. Research ...
