Now, in this work, IN researchers have shown that in cancer, both the embryonic development and adult programs are activated unexpectedly. "The two programs are activated in the tumor, but in ...

Ongoing fundamental research on cancer cells could be used to create new drugs and therapies that fight the spread of cancer ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body’s innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in ...

People inherit two copies of each gene -; one from each parent -; an evolutionary fail-safe to ensure survival even when one of them doesn't function. For cancer-suppressor genes like BRCA1 , ...
