New class of cancer mutations discovered in so-called ‘junk’ DNA

JULY 3, 2024 by Garvan Institute of Medical Research Visualized DNA damage (green) in human breast cancer cells (blue). Credit: Garvan InstituteUsing artificial intelligence, Garvan Institute researchers have found potential cancer drivers hidden in so-called ‘junk’ regions of DNA, opening up possibilities for a new approach to diagnosis and treatment. Non-coding DNA—the 98% of our...

Innovative antibody approach targets deep-seated cancer mutations

by Duke University Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain For too long, cancer treatment has been a double-edged sword—the very treatments designed to kill cancer cells often wrought havoc on healthy ones too. But a new study published online Oct. 30 in Immunity unveils an approach to cancer treatment that researchers describe as more precise, long-lasting, and less...

New technique for studying cancer mutations – approaches for future therapies

GOETHE UNIVERSITY FRANKFURT FRANKFURT. Cancer and many other diseases are based on genetic defects. The body can often compensate for the defect of one gene; it is only the combination of several genetic errors that leads to the clinical picture. The 3Cs multiplex technique based on CRISPR-Cas technology developed at Goethe University Frankfurt now offers...
