Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

Genetic mutations aren't always a bad thing. A groundbreaking new study suggests that mutations on a single gene may actually be beneficial when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease. For the study, Dr.

A rare genetic variant found in families affected by schizophrenia completely abolishes the function of TAAR1, an emerging ...

A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Neoantigens are unique markers that distinguish only cancer cells. By adding B cell reactivity, cancer vaccines can move ...

The traditional view of human genetics is that we are born with a genome that provides a predictive model of our risks of developing different diseases. With a few exceptions, such as cancer, genetic ...

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a vaccine or pathogen, B cells scramble to refine their defenses, rapidly mutating ...

A new study suggests a gene mutation could have a protective effect against Alzheimer's. The research looked specifically at blood stem cells, which live in the bone marrow and make different types of ...
