NewsComputational tool gets more out of multi-omics data
US researchers developed a next-generation computational tool called NetBID2 that can uncover difficult-to-identify proteins that drive biological processes contributing to cancer.
-
NewsScientists uncover new insights into rare childhood liver cancer
Researchers from the Netherlands have utilised organoids and the CRISPR-Cas9 "molecular scissor" system to better understand the features and biology of fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC), a rare type of liver cancer that affects adolescents and young adults.

NewsNovel tool helps differentiate between cancerous and healthy cells for AML
Spanish scientists have developed a new method to identify between cancerous and healthy cells for cases of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
-
NewsNew treatment pathway for deadly pancreatic cancers
US scientists have used mouse models of pancreatic cancer to identify genes used by tumour cells to grow uncontrollably.
-
NewsRecombining drugs helps restore gene's ability to signal for death of leukaemia cells
US researchers find combination of chloroquine and venetoclax promotes cancer cell death in mouse models with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
