A new study headed by teams at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and Open Targets has indicated how mutations that cause cancer drug resistance fall ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have produced a mutational map showing how mutations in amylin—a hormone that plays a key role in glucose regulation—affect its ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, researchers in Switzerland used base and prime editing to create and analyze a wide array of variants of the epithelial growth factor ...

A South Korean research team is developing an anticancer technology that selectively targets DNA mutations found only in ...

A lung cancer diagnosis can feel frightening. And when a family member is diagnosed, you might wonder about your own risk, prompting you to ask if lung cancer is hereditary. Smoking tobacco accounts ...
