A rare but serious clotting disorder linked to certain COVID-19 vaccines and natural adenovirus infections has puzzled scientists for years.

A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies—misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein.

Sickle cell disease is a hereditary condition, which means a person inherits it from their biological parents. The condition occurs when a person inherits two copies of the hemoglobin beta (HBB) gene ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland is enrolling patients in an innovative clinical trial that seeks to cure sickle cell disease. The trial is the first in the U.S. to apply non-viral CRISPR-Cas9 ...

After an allogeneic stem cell transplant, a recipient’s body faces a daunting task: rebuilding the person’s blood-forming and immune systems from the ground up from a relatively small number of “seed” ...

Flinders University researchers have discovered a rare genetic mutation that could explain why some people do not respond to ...
