Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a novel synthetic biomolecular condensate that can degrade intracellular ...

Cancer researchers have spent decades cataloging mutations found in tumors, building databases that now hold millions of entries. The problem was never finding variants. It was figuring out which ones ...

A new study tracking thousands of B cells across more than 100 germinal centers in mice reveals how the system consistently ...

Researchers working on an incurable blood cancer can now use a new lab model that could make testing potential new treatments and diagnostics easier and quicker, new research has found. Working with ...

New study demonstrates how high-affinity B cells 'bank' their best traits instead of rolling the dice and risking deleterious mutations, with implications for better vaccine design. A vaccine's ...

In simple terms: a mutation is a stable change in genetic sequence that can be copied when cells or viruses replicate. Most mutations have no detectable effect, some contribute to disease, and a small ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the first time, in a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the ...
