The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, has historically been opaque. Geneticist and Crick group leader Greg ...

Five-year outcomes of osimertinib-based treatment in a phase III study comparing EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) monotherapy and EGFR-TKI with inserted cisplatin plus pemetrexed as a ...

A signaling system known as the Wnt pathway plays a central role in how cells in the intestine grow, divide and renew themselves. Decades of research have shown that disruption of this pathway is a ...

Most mutations which cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a massive study of human protein variants published today in the ...

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 ...
