The KRAS gene mutation, responsible for a quarter of all cancerous tumors, has met its match. Thanks to UCSF research, a tiny ...

The CRISPR gene scissors are only of limited use to detect cancer-causing genes in animals because the method interferes with their immune system ...

Although cancer becomes more common as people get older, individuals of very advanced age appear to face a lower threat. New research from University demonstrates this pattern in mice and investigates ...

New prostate cancer research from an international team led by the Center for Genetic Epidemiology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has yielded discoveries that could improve screening and ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a small RNA molecule called miR-182 that can suppress cancer-causing genes in mice with glioblastoma mulitforme (GBM), a deadly and incurable type of ...

Marek’s disease can be pervasive in chicken houses. Chickens infected by this highly contagious viral disease often develop tumors, become paralyzed and die. They can shed the virus through their skin ...

Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers have created a computational tool that can rapidly predict which genes are implicated in an individual's cancer and recommend treatments. It is ...
