Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

Although previously thought to be neutral, research in yeast suggests that synonymous point mutations may have strongly nonneutral effects. A group of researchers from the University of Michigan (MI, ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...

Researchers from the HUN-REN Szeged Biological Research Centre and HCEMM have just published a new study suggesting that it's ...

Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the ...

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a protein on the surface of your cells that helps them grow. When the gene that codes for EGFR has a mutation, it affects the way this protein works, causing ...

A common mutation in the KRAS gene is associated with improved overall survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) compared with other variants, in part because the mutation appears to lead to ...
