Deaminet 2026, held in Palm Springs in late January, brought together researchers studying deaminase enzymes across disciplines: from structural biologists resolving APOBEC proteins at atomic resolution, to cancer biologists dissecting mutational processes, to medical ...
Thousands of mutations have been implicated in cancer. Yet, the majority of them remain uncharacterized. This represents a considerable barrier to furthering research and developing effective treatments for the disease. Recently, Kenneth Scott’s lab at Baylor College of Medicine ...
This post was contributed by Bárbara Pinho, a science communicator at the Portuguese science museum "Fábrica Centro Ciência Viva" in Aveiro, Portugal. If cancer was a musician, then metastasize is touring. But you know what a touring musician needs? A backstage team. Meet the ...
Research tackling questions in the fields of Cancer, Inflammation and Immunity, as well as various combinations thereof (so called “Immuno-Oncology”) is exploding. Researchers are increasingly able to harness the body’s immune system to fight progressing cancers. It was ...
This post was contributed by Jesse S. Boehm, the Associate Director of the Cancer Program at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. The notion of cancer precision medicine seems so simple! Take a patient’s tumor sample, use cutting edge genomic technologies to map the mutations ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Subhadra Jayaraman, a doctoral candidate at Binghamton University Cancer is one of the greatest examples of survival of the fittest. Cancer cells find a way to grow haywire, access and create more vasculature to feed themselves, use the ...
This post was contributed by the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance. We have learned much about the causes of cancer and the different avenues that can be used to treat it. For those who are running out of hope with more traditional treatments, such as surgery, radiation, and ...
Cancer – a term familiar to almost every person regardless of profession, race, or gender. Almost no other disease receives as many billions of dollars in funding or as much attention collectively from researchers. Scientists, however, have yet to slay the beast. On a global ...
