Cancer development is fundamentally an evolutionary process, however monitoring evolutionary dynamics through treatment remains challenging. Our team have recently developed a new methodology that can ...

Drug resistance is a major clinical challenge in cancer treatment, underlying both tumour recurrence and patient mortality (Vasan et al, 2019). Yet when cancer cells develop resistance to a drug, ...

Inactivation of mismatch repair (MMR) causes inherited and sporadic cancers 1. These tumours exhibit microsatellite instability (MSI) - length alterations within short repeats. MSI is a diagnostic and ...

Cancer research studies check whether new treatments are safe and work as intended. People who take part in these studies should be similar to those affected by the cancer, from different ethnicities ...

Entry to mitosis must be coordinated with pathways controlling DNA replication and DNA damage to ensure the generation of viable, undamaged daughter cells. Thus, the final trigger for mitosis ...

The overuse of CT scans could cause over 100,000 cases of cancer in the US – with almost 10,000 cases in children, researchers have warned. According to a new modelling study, published in the journal ...

Twenty years ago today, the International Genome Sequencing Consortium published the first detailed analysis of the human genome. The paper appeared online in Nature on 15 February 2001, followed by a ...

A spit test, where a sample can be collected at home, is more accurate at identifying future risk of prostate cancer for some men than the current standard PSA blood test, a new study reports. Results ...
