Glioblastoma is both the most common and lethal primary malignant brain tumor.
The fusion of empirical science with large-scale computing platforms has allowed rapid advances in our ability to model physiological and pathophysiological processes in silico.
In the largest pediatric cancer genome sequencing effort reported to date, TARGET ALL researchers sequenced 120 candidate genes in 187 high-risk childhood B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemias (HR B-ALL).
Morin et al. uncovered a novel role for chromatin modification in driving the progression of two non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs), follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
A comprehensive understanding of the molecular vulnerabilities of every type of cancer will provide a powerful roadmap to guide therapeutic approaches.
The authors introduce a small molecule to induce apoptosis selectively in cancer cells.
High-throughput tools for nucleic acid characterization now provide the means to conduct comprehensive analyses of all somatic alterations in the cancer genomes.
The authors screened 124 genes that are amplified in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using a mouse hepatoblast model and identified 18 tumor-promoting genes, including CCND1 and its neighbor on 11q13.3, FGF19.
In a letter published in Nature Genetics, pediatric researchers found that Native American ancestry is genetically linked with an increased risk of relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common cancer in children.
