New method precisely locates gene activity and proteins across tissues
The scientists argue the technique enables the creation of complex, data-rich “maps” of organs, including diseased organs and tumours, which could be widely useful in pre-clinical research.
news
Researchers find breast cancer protein that could predict chemotherapy sensitivity
Researchers have identified a protein that, when present in high amounts in breast cancer tumours, is an indicator of whether DNA-damaging therapies will work or not.
news
DNA barcoding reveals cancer cells’ ability to evade the immune system
Using DNA barcoding to track cancer cells through time, scientists have shown that the cells have diverse abilities to escape the immune system.
news
Ground-breaking 3D bioprinted tumours aid immunotherapy research
A team of scientists have 3D bioprinted breast cancer tumours and treated them in a new study, offering greater understanding of the disease.
news
A new mechanism of drug resistance discovered for breast cancer
The scientists found the mechanism of drug resistance depends on activation of a protein called KDM1B which controls and regulates gene expression.
