Credit: Mount Sinai Health System Researchers at the Mount Sinai Center for Transformative Disease Modeling have released a study identifying 4,749 key gene clusters, termed “prognostic modules,” that significantly influence...
by RIKEN A schematic of the study. The simple targeted alpha-particle therapy (TAT) compound was made by joining the radionuclide astatine-211 to an azide. The TAT compound was injected into a mice that had human lung cancer implants. The TAT targets acrolein, which is abundant in cancer cells, but not in healthy cells. After reacting with...
by Alex Viveros, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Credit: Susanna Hamilton, Broad Communications Physician-scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered that a gene called FOXR2 that is normally turned off in most tissues in the body is activated in at least 70% of cancer types and...
WILEY Survival rates for adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer have varied considerably depending on cancer type. A new study indicates that survival for multiple cancer types in such patients has improved in recent years, but some patients diagnosed with common cancer types still show limited survival improvements. The results are published by Wiley early online...
