The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The research findings, published in Nature, have implications for ...

New study demonstrates how high-affinity B cells 'bank' their best traits instead of rolling the dice and risking deleterious mutations, with implications for better vaccine design. A vaccine's ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the first time, in a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the ...
