NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A team led by researchers at the University of Cologne in Germany has identified telomere maintenance, RAS, and TP53 pathway alterations in neuroblastoma that appear to provide insights into patients’ prognoses. “Our findings may have important implications for the diagnosis and treatment of neuroblastoma patients, which should be validated in future...

UNRAVELING THE MYSTERY OF WHY CANCER CELLS SURVIVE AND THRIVE
Some cancer cells have a trick up their sleeve to avoid cell death: boosting maintenance of telomeres, the protective “end caps” on chromosomes, a research team led by Jackson Laboratory (JAX) Professor Roel Verhaak reports in Nature Genetics. The findings open avenues for functional studies that may yield insight into how to steer cancer cells away from immortalizing...
