Researchers have identified 813 possible cancer driver genes, significantly expanding the list of potential therapeutic targets for treating the disease. The genes help cancer cells grow through a non ...

Targeted CRISPR lipid nanoparticles eliminated 50% of tumors in mice with head and neck cancer. Researchers from Tel Aviv University (Israel), led by Razan Masarwy, have investigated utilizing CRISPR ...

A new AI program, SEQUOIA, can analyze a microscopy image from a tumor biopsy (left, purple) and rapidly determine what genes are likely turned on and off in the cells it contains (gene expression ...

A study recently published in Nature Genetics identifies four genes associated with increased cancer risk and four genes with rare variants associated with reduced cancer risk. A fraction of cancers ...

South African scientists have identified two new breast cancer genes -- RAB27A and USP22 -- in Black women, marking the first GWAS of its kind on the continent. This breakthrough highlights the need ...

Germline pathogenic variants contribute to 15%-20% of ovarian cancer cases, with BRCA1/2 mutations accounting for 65%-85% of these cases. Disparities in genetic testing uptake exist across racial, ...

University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have developed a "two-in-one" molecule that can simultaneously turn off two notoriously difficult-to-target ...

They are genes commonly associated with breast cancer in women, but in fact men who carry certain mutations in their BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at higher risk of developing certain types of cancer ...

A study led by Dr. Li Chuanyun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has revealed how recently evolved human-specific genes—critical for ...
