A first-ever analysis of the whole Greenland shark genome gives researchers a couple of clues to their longevity.
The Greenland shark, a slow-moving giant of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, holds the record as the longest-lived ...
Researchers have discovered race-associated molecular differences in tumors that may impact the way patients with pancreatic ...
When the TP53 gene was disrupted in these cells, they grew faster and became more resistant to radiation, reinforcing the idea that p53 helps prevent cancerous growth. Another key discovery was a ...
A longstanding scientific belief about a link between cancer prevalence and animal body size has been tested for the first ...
The TP53 gene helps stop the growth of cells that have damaged DNA. An inherited TP53 mutation causes Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a disorder that ups your chances of breast cancer, leukemia, brain ...
In many cancer types, the TP53 gene is often mutated or deleted, which inactivates the tumour suppression activity of the p53 protein. However, loss of p53 tumour-suppressor activity can also ...
A new type of cluster analysis makes customised cancer screening tests possible. People with the rare Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) have a high risk of developing cancer. Almost all those affected will ...
In episode four of Chat!DNA, an interview series by BGI Genomics, we feature Lin Cong, whose research on colorectal cancer, ...
You must go for follow-up screening, ” admonishes Dr Kavitha Rethanavalan, consultant clinical geneticist at Kuala Lumpur ...
