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...

Reprogramming the immune response in ovarian cancer

Jill Stone — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 14:00:26 +0000

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 20,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year in the U.S. For most of these women, the cancer has already spread to other organs (metastasized) at the time of diagnosis. In addition to malignant cancer cells, tumors are composed of a network of immune cells, blood...

Fighting cancer is a rebalancing act

Jasmine Lee — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 15:30:48 +0000

hy do some cancers spread throughout the body? Cancer cells live in a complex neighborhood populated by immune cells, blood vessels, and other structures. Signals crisscross the neighborhood: cells tell each other who is there and what they want. Cancer cells may want to hide their identity or otherwise influence this neighborhood—or microenvironment—so they can...

Katie Oppo fund donates $75k to ovarian cancer research

Jill Stone — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 21:22:39 +0000

The Katie Oppo Research Fund donated $75,000 to Associate Professor Mikala Egeblad‘s lab to start an ovarian cancer research project. Dr. Egeblad and her team will study metastasis in ovarian cancer and how the body’s immune system might be used to combat those cancer cells. Liz Oppo, the founder of the Fund, presented Dr. Egeblad...

Next-gen cancer test

Peter Tarr — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 17:00:40 +0000

Knowing that cancers become lethal when they spread, investigators at ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) seek a way of detecting tumors much earlier than now possible—when they’re more likely to be curable. Fleshing out an idea Professor Michael Wigler had years ago—before there was technology to act on it—research led by Associate Professor Alexander Krasnitz...

Discovery of new ovarian cancer signaling hub points to target for limiting metastasis

Peter Tarr — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 17:00:38 +0000

The Tonks lab has identified a role for the non-receptor tyrosine kinase, FER, in the invasion and movement of ovarian cancer cells—two traits that are required for metastasis. The work points to a potential drug target that could limit the most aggressive form of the disease.
