As cancer cells grow and multiply they shed tiny fragments of their DNA into the bloodstream. The "liquid biopsy" is a simple ...

To test this hypothesis, the research group experimentally investigated how NEAT1 reacts to serious damage to the genome -- so-called DNA double-strand breaks -- in human bone cancer cells.

But despite causing major diseases, these slightly mutated proteins can resemble their normal versions so closely that ...

Based on a validated model of colorectal cancer screening, cell-free DNA blood tests may deliver net benefit when screening ...

Results could vary between having a net benefit or harm based on the balance between achieving screening in individuals who ...

Several clinical trials are testing to inhibit ... patterns necessary for cell differentiation and proliferation. Abnormal DNA methylation is strongly associated with cancer.

Research published in Nature Genetics on Oct.14, by Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine, found a higher concentration of a specific kind of DNA—extrachromosomal or ecDNA ...

Researchers found that antiviral enzymes that mutate the DNA of normal and cancer cells are key promoters of early bladder cancer development, and that standard chemotherapy is also a potent ...

There are a few different ways that genes -- tiny pieces of your DNA -- can mutate and ... or avoid certain drugs. Genetic tests for non-small-cell lung cancer may not be offered by every doctor ...
