Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions report in the journal Nature Communications how a mutation in the enzyme SKD3 can cause a form of a genetic disease known as ...

Kyle Miller and his team discovered a potential new target for drug therapies: structures in our DNA called R-loops. A human cancer cell that overexpresses the enzyme APOBEC3B (left) has fewer R-loops ...

Illinois professor Uwe Rudolph, left, and research scientist Maltesh Kambali led an international group of researchers who found a key role for an enzyme regulating glycine in the brain while ...

A research team has discovered the key role that the APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B enzymes play in driving cancer mutations by modifying the DNA in tumor genomes, offering potential new targets for ...

Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster.

It revealed that the two enzymes do not recognize the same DNA sequences and structures within the genomes of cancer cells. Based on this observation, an innovative approach utilizing these unique ...

Cancer is a universal issue which affects many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope a surgeon will ...

The carriers of the mutation have an increased risk of esophageal cancer, especially among heavy drinkers and smokers. To understand how acute liver injury occurs in living organisms when aldehyde ...
