Scientists develop new treatment for hereditary breast cancer
Researchers at the University of Sheffield, funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research, have discovered a new way of treating and preventing hereditary breast cancer. The latest finding describes how the use of a chemical inhibitor can specifically kill tumour cells, which have a defect in the gene causing hereditary breast cancer. This new treatment... view more... (2005-04-11)
Mitochondrial DNA sequencing tool updated
High-tech laboratory tools, like computers, are often updated publicly as their analytical capabilities expand. In the September issue of the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, NIH grantees report they have developed a second generation "lab on a silicon chip" called the MitoChip v2.0 that for the first time rapidly and reliably sequences... view more...
