Researchers identify bone-forming cells as the driver of scoliosis caused by a genetic disorder, which can be prevented ...

Spinal deformities such as scoliosis and kyphosis are among the most serious complications of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic disorder that affects about one in 3,000 people.

When the NF1 gene was discovered in 1990, it was quickly learned that the gene product functions as a regulator of a protein called Ras. Ras is a key component of a cell signaling pathway that ...

Panelists discuss how mutations in the NF1 gene lead to loss of neurofibromin function, resulting in hyperactivation of the RAS/MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways, and how this molecular dysregulation ...
