Specific gene mutations accelerate growth of pancreatic tumours: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The new study, which was released in Nature Communications, explains how specific gene mutations cause pancreatic cancer to proliferate uncontrollably by turning on a "super-enhancer" that activates other genes.

Researchers more insight into Parkinson’s disease treatment
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
A new method by which parkin gene mutations cause family types of Parkinson's disease has been discovered by Northwestern Medicine researchers. According to researchers in a recent study, the discovery provides a fresh approach to Parkinson's treatment.

Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Cancer spreads in devious, almost military ways across the human body. It may, for example, alter our genetic make-up, take over certain cell-to-cell signalling mechanisms, and change essential enzymes to enhance tumour development, resistance to medicines, and expedite spread from the initi

Study discovers certain genetic mutations associated with treatment-resist
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A study performed by Sanford Burnham Prebys researchers discovered that specific genetic abnormalities are linked to treatment-resistant breast cancer in young women. These mutations do not appear to be associated with treatment-resistant breast cancer in older women.

Older trees accrue more mutations than their younger ones: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Older, long-lived trees are thought to contribute more to the creation and maintenance of genetic diversity than young, short-lived trees, according to research on the relationship between the growth rate of tropical trees and the frequency of genetic mutations they accumulate.

Researchers suggest effects of genetic mutations on RNA formation
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A Munich-based research team developed an algorithm that predicts the consequences of genetic changes on RNA production six times more accurately than earlier models. As a result, the genetic origins of uncommon hereditary disorders and cancer may now be more precisely identified.
