Researchers have discovered that infiltrating gliomas, a common brain and spinal cord tumor, are shaped by their genetic evolution and microenvironment, a finding that could lead to more targeted treatments. "We have identified epigenetic…

Alterations in metabolic processes are a hallmark of cancer and can lead to a tumor environment that is acidic. As a result, cancer cells must adapt to survive in this inhospitable environment. In a new study published in the journal Cell…

VANCOUVER -- It is difficult to say if the Vancouver Canucks need more Travis Dermotts. But the National Hockey League team needs more change. For many weeks, president Jim Rutherford and general manager Patrik Allvin have been taking…

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is an incurable, rare cancer of skin-homing T cells that is highly disfiguring and lethal at advanced stages. The most common form of CTCL, mycosis fungoides, is characterized by a cutaneous patch, plaque…

Researchers in the University of Helsinki and University Hospital Helsinki have developed a method to precisely and rapidly correct genetic alterations in the cultured patient cells. The method produces genetically corrected autologous…

Migraines are a pain in the head and in the hip pocket, but newly discovered genetic causes by QUT researchers could lead the way to new preventative drugs and therapies. Genetic analyses findings were published in The American Journal of…

The autoimmune disease lupus may be triggered by a defective process in the development of red blood cells (RBCs), according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine. The discovery could lead to new methods for classifying…
