In their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is able to establish infection of liver cells, researchers have identified a vulnerability that opens ...

Stanford Medicine researchers sifted through thousands of single nucleotide mutations in DNA to identify fewer than 400 that are functionally associated with inherited cancer risk.

Researchers say if their results are confirmed through further study they are optimistic the approach could be used to treat chronic infections for the first time.

Ancient DNA is telling us more and more about humans and environments long past. Could it also help rescue the future?
