An atlas that catalogs gene activity and the levels of small molecules called metabolites in tumor samples offers a new way of identifying the deep mechanisms of cancer, according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Overlooked DNA mutations ‘may increase bowel cancer patients' survival chances' They hope their findings could help identify those with more aggressive forms of bowel cancer and provide more effective treatments. 08 April, 2021 15:27 UK scientists have identified a group of mutations in overlooked DNA in tumour cells that may increase the chances of survival for people with bowel cancer. These mutations are present in the DNA in mitochondria – often known as “powerhouses” of cells because these tiny structures help turn food into energy. While it is know...
Overlooked DNA mutations ‘may increase bowel cancer patients’ survival chances’ The findings are published in the journal Nature Metabolism (Lauren Hurley/PA) UK scientists have identified a group of mutations in overlooked DNA in tumour cells that may increase the chances of survival for people with bowel cancer. These mutations are present in the DNA in mitochondria – often known as “powerhouses” of cells because these tiny structures help turn food into energy. While it is known that mitochondrial mutations can be found in cancer cells, there has been little research into what ...
