Researchers identify a pattern in cancer’s chromosomal chaos – News-Medical.net
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and the UCL Cancer Institute have identified how different cancers go through some of the same genetic mutations at the same point in their evolution.
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and the UCL Cancer Institute have identified how different cancers go through some of the same genetic mutations at the same point in their evolution. Their findings could bring us a step closer to an ‘evolutionary rule book’ which could help predict and block cancer’s next move.
The genetic make-up of a tumor changes over time. This is the result of mistakes made when cancerous cells replicate their DNA to create a copy which is needed for the cell to…
