Scientists report that they have learned how certain combinations of rearranged genes can promote the progression of a rare type of kidney cancer. In findings from a study led by investigators at the ...

Cancer researchers have long treated genetic chaos and epigenetic rewiring as separate engines of disease, two parallel ...

We often think of blood as the uniform red liquid encountered after a kitchen accident or at the doctor’s office. While this is true, on a microscopic level blood is made up of highly heterogeneous ...

Even though a large proportion of cancer patients carry genetic mutations that make them more susceptible to cancer, only a ...

The way DNA folds inside the nucleus of brain cells may hold the key to understanding a devastating form of brain cancer called glioblastoma, suggests a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell ...

INFORMATION. WE’RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM. IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY. MUCH OF OUR DNA COMES FROM OUR PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, AND SO FORTH, AND DNA CAN REGULARLY CONTRIBUTE TO HEREDITARY CANCER RISK, ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Cancer’s genetic fingerprints may lurk in people’s blood long before they find out about the disease. It’s possible to spot tumor DNA more than three years before a person is diagnosed with cancer, ...

The way DNA folds inside the nucleus of brain cells may hold the key to understanding a devastating form of brain cancer called glioblastoma, suggests a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell ...

Normal TFE3 protein appears diffuse throughout a cell (left), whereas the TFE3 fusion proteins found in a rare kidney cancer form tiny liquid droplets near the cell’s DNA, where they regulate ...
