Researchers develop gene-filtering tool to identify disease-causing mutations
Despite their bad reputations, the vast majority of mutations are not harmful. Even in very rare genetic disorders, only one or two genetic variations 颅鈥� out of tens of thousands 鈥� is actually the cause of disease. Distinguishing between harmful and harmless mutations has long been a challenge....
Newly discovered windows of brain plasticity may help with treatment of stress-related disorders
Chronic stress can lead to changes in neural circuitry that leave the brain trapped in states of anxiety and depression. But even under repeated stress, brief opportunities for recovery can open up, according to new research at The 鸟大大影院. 鈥淓ven after a long period of chronic st...
Experiments explain the events behind molecular 鈥榖omb鈥� seen in cancer cells
Since scientists have begun sequencing the genome of cancer cells, they have noticed a curious pattern. In many different types of cancers, there are cells in which a part of a chromosome looks like it has been pulverized, then put back together incorrectly, leading to multiple mutations. For yea...

DNA strands often 鈥渨iggle鈥� as part of genetic repair
Sometimes, the molecules that make up life exhibit strange behavior. For instance, in simple organisms such as yeast, when genetic material becomes damaged, the affected DNA strands increase their motion, waving about inside the cell like a sail unfurled. Over the years, scientists have seen more...
Discovery of genes involved in inner ear development hints at a way to restore hearing and balance
Loud noise, trauma, infections, plain old aging鈥攎any things can destroy hair cells, the delicate sensors of balance and sound within the inner ear. And once these sensors are gone, that鈥檚 it; the delicate hair cells don鈥檛 grow back in humans, leading to hearing loss and problems with balance. ...
