Bringing Out the Usual – and Unusual – Cancer Genomics SuspectsSeveral years ago, researchers sequencing lung cancer genomes encountered a number of red herrings.
DNA-Altering Enzyme is Essential for Blood Cell DevelopmentThe expression of specific genes is partially dictated by the way the DNA is packed into chromatin, a tightly packed combination of DNA and proteins known as histones.
DNA Sequencing Reveals Mucosal Melanoma's BullseyeScientists have found a molecular 'bullseye' for a rare form of melanoma, opening up opportunities for new targeted treatment.
Studies Illuminate Functions of RNAResearchers at the University of California illuminate the functional importance of a relatively new class of RNA molecules.
Chemical Screen Points to New Line of Attack Against NeuroblastomaIn the war on neuroblastoma, the current chemical weaponry is reaching its limit.
Mouse Study Suggests Lead May Trigger SchizophreniaBehavioral and MRI study in mice points to a synergistic relationship between lead exposure and schizophrenia gene.
Identified a Key Protein in Maintaining the Identity of B LymphocytesThis finding could be useful for the study of blood diseases such as lymphoma and leukemia.
Gene Mutation Gives Boost to Brain Cancer CellsAn international team of researchers has found that a singular gene mutation helps brain cancer cells to not just survive, but grow tumors rapidly.
Potential New Way to Suppress Tumor Growth DiscoveredThe new mechanism opens up the possibility of developing a new class of anti-cancer drugs.
Enzyme-Activating Antibodies Revealed As Marker for Severe Rheumatoid ArthritisFinding could lead to earlier diagnosis and new, more aggressive treatment for worst cases.
