By studying a highly cancer-prone family, scientists have identified a rare, inherited gene mutation that dramatically raises the lifetime risk of pancreatic cancer. The discovery of this previously unknown mutation in the gene RABL3 could lead to routine...

Harvard stem cell scientists studying the effect of nitric oxide on liver growth and regeneration appear to have serendipitously discovered a markedly improved treatment for liver damage caused by acetaminophen toxicity—the cause of half the U.S. hospital...

Harvard stem cell scientists have a new theory for how stem cells decide whether to become liver or pancreatic cells during development. A cell’s fate, the researchers found, is determined by the nearby presence of prostaglandin E 2, a messenger molecule...
