Researchers unravel the role of G-quadruplexes in breast cancer

A team of researchers from the University of Cambridge have unravelled the complex landscape of G-quadruplexes and revealed their role […]

Codon-specific mutations could be used to predict response to cancer treatment

Codon-specific mutations in the KRAS gene may predict a patient’s response to harsh chemotherapy, according to a recent study published […]

3D Ultra-Resolution Maps Reveal How Mitochondria Shape Lung Cancer Metabolism

In a recent paper published in Nature, researchers used positron emission tomography imaging (PET) and electron microscopy to create 3D […]

Genetic Slip-ups: The Ongoing Hunt for Errors in Scientific Research

A team of researchers have combed through and investigated hundreds of genetics studies, identifying several highly cited studies which contain […]

New blood test for prostate cancer shows 94% accuracy

When used in combination with the standard prostate-specific antigen test for prostate cancer (PCa), a new epigenetic assay can improve […]

Ant-i-cancer Discovery: Tiny Insects Prove to be Mighty Diagnosticians

In a recent paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society, researchers trained ants to become olfactory cancer tumour bio-sensors. […]

Embryo gene activation events linked to cancer

In a recent paper, published in the journal Cell Reports, embryologists have discovered how genes in early embryos are switched […]

Cancer drug discovery and development

Drug discovery is a time-consuming and costly process, particularly given the high number of trials that ultimately “fail” or have […]

Cancer immunotherapy and precision oncology

In a healthy individual, the immune system responds to “foreign” cells (such as cancer) by attacking and eliminating them. Unfortunately, […]

Sequencing options for cancer genomics

We’ve come a long way since the dawn of Sanger sequencing in 1977. The rapid development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) […]
