KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene across all human cancers. Although different KRAS mutations have long been thought to exert the same cancer-driving effects, a new study led by UT ...
It took a while for the science to basically catch up to that suspicion.” In these types of “recessive” conditions, the ...
Most mutations that cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a major study of human protein variants that was published in Nature ...
In 1992, Judith Frydman, PhD, discovered a molecular complex with an essential purpose in all of our cells: folding proteins correctly. The complex, a type of "protein chaperone" known as TRiC, helps ...
Unstable proteins are the main drivers of many different heritable diseases, according to a new study, including genetic disorders responsible for the formation of cataracts, and different types of ...
HER2-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a rare form of lung cancer where the cancer cells have a mutation that makes them grow and divide in an uncontrolled way. You can best understand ...
