AI Cancer Models Can Make Biased Predictions Unless Calibrated Properly
Artificial intelligence and deep learning models are powerful techniques in cancer treatment. However, unless these algorithms are properly calibrated, they can make inaccurate or biased predictions.

Assessing Replication-Stress Sensitivity in Breast Cancer Cells
Researchers have documented that mutant p53 R273H in triple negative breast cancer cells interacts with replicating DNA and PARP1. The mutated p53 is unable to bind specifically to DNA, but maintains the capacity to interact tightly with chromatin.

Increasing the Accuracy of Early Ovarian Cancer Detection
A test being developed in Queensland could help to reduce the high mortality rate from ovarian cancer by dramatically improving the accuracy of early detection.

Exhaustion Leaves Durable Epigenetic Scars in T Cells
Researchers have illuminated an important limitation of the immune system in prolonged battles against cancers or viruses: T cells remain substantially programmed to stay exhausted even many weeks after exposure to a virus ended.

Detecting Brain Tumors Using Patient Urine or Blood Plasma
Researchers have developed two tests that can detect the presence of glioma, a type of brain tumor, in patient urine or blood plasma.

Sequence of "Junk" DNA Could Play a Role in Aging and Cancer
Research has identified a DNA region, known as VNTR2-1, that appears to drive the activity of the telomerase gene, which has been shown to prevent aging in certain types of cells.

Organ-on-a-Chip Finds Crucial Connection Between Blood and Ovarian Cancers
Researchers have developed an organ-on-a-chip device that could change the way clinicians approach cancer treatment, particularly ovarian cancer.

New Insights Into Decades-Old Cell Movement Mystery
A new study shows that the stiffness of protein fibers in tissues are a key component in controlling the movement of cells. The groundbreaking discovery provides the first proof of a theory from the early 1980s and could have a major impact on fields that study cell movement from regenerative medicine to cancer research.

Team Therapeutically Targets Mutation Causing Devastating Childhood Cancer
Researchers have discovered how a specific genetic mutation (H3K27M) causes an incurable childhood cancer called diffuse midline glioma (DMG). In laboratory studies working with cell models, they were able to successfully reversed its effects to slow cancer cell growth with a targeted drug.
