A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...

Melanoma kills roughly 8,000 Americans each year, and a stubborn share of those deaths trace back to the same problem: tumors ...

A retrospective analysis of 5,045 patients at University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center who underwent tumor genetic testing between January 2015 and April 2022 was conducted. Data were ...

Cancer is caused by genetic changes that occur in our cells over time. There are two main types of changes, namely somatic mutations, which are alterations in the DNA sequence, and copy number ...

Being invited to present research at an international academic conference is an honor for any seasoned professional. But for 16-year-old Lucas Wang, it was an opportunity to kick start what he hopes ...

Scientists at Fox Chase Cancer Center have identified a mutation in a common oncogene - a gene that can cause cancer - that may play an important role in colon cancer. Researchers also showed how this ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have produced a mutational map showing how mutations in amylin—a hormone that plays a key role in glucose regulation—affect its ...

Individuals that share the same deletion of a portion of chromosome 16 are at risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders, but some experience severe intellectual disability or developmental delay ...

Cells have a carefully orchestrated mechanism consisting of several proteins to ensure healthy replication and division. One of the key players that participates in regulating tissue growth and repair ...

Researchers have developed a new framework to study the functional impact of genetic background on the expression and severity of neurodevelopmental features associated with a deletion of a portion of ...
