Researchers discover new approach for predicting resistance against cancer
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
The most prevalent form of blood cancer in Singapore and the world, diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), has been linked to an unusual combination of oncogenes that may predict treatment resistance and consequently unfavourable outcomes in patients. This research was conducted by a team fr

Study reveals how whole genome doubling drives cancer
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Two to three metres of DNA can fit inside a single cell, thus it can only be stored by being wound tightly into coils. The answer is chromatin, a compound of DNA encased in histone-like proteins. This complex gradually folds into the multi-layered arrangement of loops, domains, and compartme

Researchers reveal therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cell
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Gene mutations are the cause of cancer. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes are the two main groups of these altered genes in cancer. Mutations in oncogenes can drive cell proliferation, pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, whereas mutations in tumour suppressor genes can cause tumour

Research sheds light on therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer is a disease driven by gene mutations. These mutated genes in cancer fall into two major categories: tumour suppressors and oncogenes. Mutations in tumour suppressor genes can allow tumours to grow unchecked - a case of no brakes - while mutations in oncogenes can activate cell prolif
