The magnetic math of breast health

Margaret Osborne — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 11:30:32 +0000

Branching isn’t just for trees. This biological process occurs in animal development, enabling organs to perform complex functions. Branch-like structures form in lungs, kidneys, and breasts, among other places. Importantly, only in female mammary glands does most branching occur years after birth. It happens during puberty and again during pregnancy as milk ducts branch out...

Genome hack reignites century-old cancer debate

Luis Sandoval — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 11:30:10 +0000

What causes cancer? Science and medicine have been trying to answer this question for centuries. In the late 1800s, scientists observed that most tumors have an odd number of chromosomes. They thought this imbalance, called aneuploidy, may be a driving force in cancer development. Since then, technological advancements—and limitations—have pushed science in other directions. But...

One experiment: Observing cancer’s progress in a mouse prostate

Brian Stallard — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 20:16:40 +0000

Experts have long known that tumors arise from the migration of cancer cells across organs. But observing the progression of those cancer cells in high resolution, and in turn being able to more effectively hinder their advances, has been a challenge for scientists. Now, a cutting-edge technique originally developed by Associate Professor Pavel Osten’s lab...

New method to determine before surgery which prostate tumors pose a lethal threat

Peter Tarr — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 16:38:11 +0000

Prostate cancer is common and largely nonlethal. But for some 21,000 men—a small percentage of the total, but a nonetheless substantial number—the disease is fatal. For earlier and more accurate detection, the Krasnitz and Wigler labs have devised a new method to analyze tumor biopsies to identify the most lethal forms of prostate cancer.
