Genetics Meeting Surveys the Cancer Genome Landscape
Newswise BETHESDA, MD June 18, 2012 — In cancer, the genome is shot to hell,” Columbia University cell biologist I. Bernard Weinstein, M.D., famously said in 1989. Since then, researchers have catalogued the mutations that drive many human cancers Continue reading
Model Organisms Help Researchers Learn About Human Cancers
Newswise BETHESDA, MD June 12, 2012 — Its hard to imagine that a zebrafish, a small tropical freshwater fish that is often found in home aquariums, could help scientists solve complicated problems about melanoma, a type of human skin cancer. But zebrafish and other small organismssuch as fruit flies, roundworms, yeast and mice are helping research scientists uncover how human cancersskin, colon, breast and othersbegin, invade, spread and can be treated.
