Cancer has long been portrayed as a disease of pure genetic chaos, a biological roulette that makes every tumor feel uniquely ...

About 15% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, and many other conceptions do not survive past the very early stages of ...

Chromosomal instability plays a crucial role in the progression of cancer: it shapes the properties of tumor cells and drives the development of therapy resistance. Scientists used state-of-the-art ...

Researchers have revealed the mechanisms by which cells enter senescence because of an imbalance in the number of chromosomes. Chromosomal instability is a common trait in most solid tumors, such as ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...

I still recall my disappointment one day in 2015. I received the tumor DNA sequencing results for one of my patients, whose cancer had spread from her lungs to her brain. I saw not a single genetic ...

Recently, the research team led by Prof. Junjiu Huang from Sun Yat-sen University, in collaboration with Prof. Fenghua Liu’s team at Guangdong Women and Children Hospital, published a study titled ...
