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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...

An extensive tumor genomic analysis of individuals with ovarian cancer, led by researchers from Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) and Emory University, revealed that Black ...

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

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 ...
