Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Investigators have unveiled for the first time that changes in certain genes affect an aggressive cancer, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), differently depending on genetic ancestry. The ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Precision medicine in GU cancers is evolving with biomarkers like BRCA1/2 mutations influencing PARP inhibitor use and pembrolizumab's tumor-agnostic approval for microsatellite instability. FGFR3 ...

A research team in Japan has developed an innovative system that can accurately detect genetic mutations in the brain tumor within just 25 minutes. Genetic mutations are crucial markers for diagnosis ...

Do you experience nausea, facial flushing or a racing heart after enjoying even small amounts of your favorite cocktail? These could be signs that you have an inherited intolerance to alcohol — and a ...
