Euan Ashley's lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny "typos," or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health ...
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a promising gene-editing therapy that directly corrects a genetic mutation responsible for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common ...
As we age, our cells accumulate DNA mutations. If any of these mutations confer a growth advantage to a self-renewing or long-lived progenitor cell, its lineage can expand. The progenitor cells that ...
