Jeff Vierstra’s mother and two sisters all died after complications from IFor Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, but the scientist and the skier hope that an experimental treatment and the first known attempt to prevent the neurodegenerative disease can help save his life. Vierstra was only two years old when her mother died. All of his siblings … Read more

April 1 (Reuters) – Advanced genetic testing could help erase a huge disparity in breast cancer survival rates between white and black patients, new research has found. Currently, black women in the US have a 40% higher death rate from breast cancer than white women, despite the low rate of 5% of the disease. Register … Read more

picture: To address this challenge, the team identified low-intratumor heterogeneity/high-intertumor variability (LIHV) genes. This signature of 1,341 genes targets markers that remain consistent within a human tumor but vary greatly between patients. By filtering out the discrepant “noise”, the LIHV design enables a robust and reproducible classification of iCCA into five molecular subtypes, each associated … Read more
