This means that the damage has multiple chances to generate harmful mutations, which can lead to cancer. While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms ...

The Garvan team revealed that this is not the case -- rather, the critical trigger is mutations in 'rogue clone' B cells. "This discovery fundamentally changes our understanding of how infections ...
