As our body ages, cells have to divide to replenish those that become worn out or damaged. Most cells also carry the genome in their nucleus, which has to be replicated each time cell division takes ...
Researchers of the Melnick Lab, led by Prof. Ari Melnick, medicine, recently published a study identifying a key mutation that disrupts the B-cell natural selection process during immune response, ...
