| |  When I first received the diagnosis of bilateral breast cancer in June 2023, my first reaction was “oh this is sooooooo interesting, it would be perfect to do spatial transcriptomics on these samples and visualise with VR-Omics”. It was only when I saw the shocked face of my family, friends and colleagues that I realised that “interesting” is probably not the right word here and that I began to realise how heavy this journey will be. | |

| |  The 2024 National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) Global Summit and Award Ceremonies for Cancer Research & Entrepreneurship, co-hosted with the AIM-HI Accelerator Fund, convened the world's top experts across cancer research, biotech entrepreneurship, pharmaceuticals, investment, and patient advocacy. | |
|
| |  Researchers investigate the spatial organization of cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. | |
|
| |  Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among Western women, with up to 10% of cases attributed to genetic variants. | |
|
| |  Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. | |
|
| |  A new analysis led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has revealed detailed 3D maps of the internal structures of multiple tumor types. These cancer atlases reveal how different tumor cells -; and the cells of a tumor's surrounding environment -; are organized, in 3D, and how that organization changes when a tumor spreads to other organs. | |
|
| |  Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have identified 16 genes that breast cancer cells use to survive in the bloodstream after they've escaped the low-oxygen regions of a tumor. | |
|
| |  Using computational tools, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a method to assess which patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer could benefit from immunotherapy. | |
|
| |  Mitochondria have long been known as the tiny organelles that act as the battery packs inside our cells while also serving as internal sensors and communicators. | |
|
| |  A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on October 11, 2024, entitled "Initiation of tumor dormancy by the lymphovascular embolus." | |
|
| |  Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen, and their collaborators have discovered six novel genes with rare germline variants that associate with cancer risk. The findings are published today in Nature Genetics under the title "Gene-based burden tests of rare germline variants identify six cancer susceptibility genes". | |
|
| |  The evolution of pancreatic cancer screening technologies is pivotal for early detection, addressing key challenges to enhance survival rates and patient care. | |
|
| |  The study suggests non-fermented milk may raise ischemic heart disease risk in women, urging a closer look at dairy consumption and its health impacts. | |
|
| |  Canada's current national screening guidelines for breast cancer are less appropriate for women of certain race and ethnicity groups since they are diagnosed at younger ages with more advanced stages of the disease. | |
|
| |  Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways -; ways that have important implications for the development of cancer, researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are discovering. | |
