Mapping diverse mutations within a cancer hotspot revealed that distinct variants drive tumor growth to different extents, which could guide anticancer therapies.

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth ...

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

A new proof-of-concept method reliably engineered a hotspot mutation of SF3B1, a gene-splicing gene, into diverse cancer cell lines, outperforming other contemporary editing approaches. Oncogenesis ...

Genetic mutations aren't always a bad thing. A groundbreaking new study suggests that mutations on a single gene may actually be beneficial when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease. For the study, Dr.

In mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, TP53 mutations are known to affect patients’ prognosis—but questions remain. What does the heterogeneity of TP53 ...
