Multiple research projects - including a 2006 study conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - have used DNA microarray analysis to identify several breast cancer subtypes, including luminal A, luminal B, basal-like and HER2-enriched. Simple tests are being developed to help doctors identify these subtypes and ...

(University of British Columbia) Scientists at the University of British Columbia and the Smithsonian Institution have discovered a sensory organ in rorqual whales that coordinates its signature lunge-feeding behavior -- and may help explain their enormous size.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Multiple research projects including a 2006 study conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have used DNA microarray analysis to identify several breast cancer subtypes, including luminal A, luminal B, basal-like and HER2-enriched. Simple tests are being developed to help doctors ...

A team of scientists from the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Department of Biological Sciences and Mechanobiology Institute have discovered how a drug-led compound a compound that is undergoing preclinical trials as a potential drug can deprive cancer cells of energy and stop them from growing into a ...

(University of North Carolina Health Care) A new study led by UNC Lineberger scientist Charles Perou, Ph.D., and Sean Egan, Ph.D., from the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, demonstrates that deletion of a sugar transferase called LFNG, promotes cell proliferation and tumor formation of basal-like breast cancers.

Barcelona, 20 May 2012. The Stem Cells and Cancer Research Group headed by Dr Hctor G. Palmer at the Vall d'Hebrn Institute of Oncology (VHIO) has identified the molecular mechanisms that determine patients' response to certain drugs used in clinical trials for colon cancer treatment. The study led by VHIO ...

There are always exceptions to a rule, even one that has prevailed for more than three decades, as demonstrated by a Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) study on RNA splicing, a cellular editing process. The rule-flaunting exception uncovered by the study concerns the way in which a newly produced RNA ...

(Vall d´Hebron Institute of Oncology) The Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology identifies biomarkers that predict resistance to treatment which will enable a better selection of patients who stand to benefit as well as avoid the administration of ineffective medicines. These findings identify experimental drugs to overcome resistance and open new ...

Over the past decade, research in the field of epigenetics has revealed that chemically modified bases are abundant components of the human genome and has forced us to abandon the notion we've had since high school genetics that DNA consists of only four bases. Now, researchers at Weill Cornell Medical ...

Northwestern Europe harbors one of the best known biotas, thanks to the long faunistic and floristic traditions practiced there. However, some animal groups are far better known than others. The diversity of true flies there is fascinating, and undescribed species of flies, midges and gnats are not uncommon. Because Northwestern ...
