Tumors can carry mutations in hundreds of different genes, and each of those genes may be mutated in different ways - some mutations simply replace one DNA nucleotide with another, while others insert ...

MIT scientists have uncovered a mechanism for how a common genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s contributes to the disease. It centers on lipid metabolism, and early investigations suggest it could ...

Eighty-four teams of students from 21 countries are gathering at MIT to compete in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition. The teams have been working since the summer to ...

Scientists from Duke, MIT, and Stanford have independently devised a molecular trick that could help make genetic therapies safer and more effective. The technology, which was disclosed in three ...

From personalized vaccines to next-generation screening technologies, the ways the world treats and detects cancer could shift dramatically in the coming years. But there are many challenges ahead, as ...

Neuroscientists at MIT have discovered what appears to be the master gene that controls the forming of new memories in your brain. Called Npas4, the gene triggers a complex reaction that results in ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have unveiled a significant correlation between the rare genetic mutation TREM2 R47H/+ and elevated ...
