As cancer cells grow and multiply they shed tiny fragments of their DNA into the bloodstream. The "liquid biopsy" is a simple blood test that looks for these. Samples are analysed to build a ...

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

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 ...

Cell-free DNA blood tests (cf-bDNA) may be more costly and less effective for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening than other ...

Stanford researchers have delved into gluing proteins to trigger cancer cell death, developed an affordable ice-penetration ...

Japan has long been recognised for its high life expectancy, and many experts attribute this to the Japanese diet. Not only ...

Until that point, scientists had assumed carcinogens caused cancer by acting on proteins, rather than genes. Nuclei of tumour cells stained with a blue dye and two markers of DNA damage resulting from ...

The UC Berkeley biochemist developed the simple, widely used "Ames test" to identify cancer-causing chemicals.

these cells cannot repair DNA damage, leading to their death, while healthy cells remain unaffected.” The team identified the first WRN inhibitor effective against cancer cells in laboratory tests ...

biomodal, an omics-based life sciences technology and analytics company, today announced it will present new data highlighting the utility of duet mul ...
