Throughout development, life and the processes of aging, all human cells accumulate mutations, resulting in what is called mosaicism, a condition in which different cells in the same person have ...

A study published in PLOS PATHOGENS describes the prevalence and functions of mutations in neuraminidase enzyme of avian H5N1 influenza viruses that are preferentially selected in human H5N1 influenza ...

The human genome is contained in the nucleus of almost every cell in the body. But those cells also contain multitudes of mitochondria, and these incredible little power-generating organelles carry ...

The genetic mutations that have been studied the most are those that have been linked to human disease, but what about mutations that provide some benefit? Researchers have now identified mutations ...

The phrase "biological clock" often brings to mind images of a mother's age and dwindling eggs. But two significant studies published in 2025 are shifting the narrative, showing that while maternal ...
