Peek inside the human genome and, among the 20,000 or so genes that serve as building blocks of life, you’ll also find flecks of DNA left behind by viruses that infected primate ancestors tens of millions of years ago. Credit: CU Boulder Peek inside the

How does a normal cell in the body develop into an aggressive cancer cell? According to the central tumor model, cancer develops in an evolutionary process. When randomly distributed mutations in cancer genes accumulate in single cells, this gradually perturbs cell division and other cellular

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), commonly known as primary liver cancer, is a major cause of malignant tumors and cancer-related deaths worldwide. In China, the condition accounts for approximately 85% of all cancer cases. While several guidelines have been used to diagnose and treat liver cancer, they

Scientists at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Medical Science and Imperial College London have discovered that ‘switching off’ a protein called IL-11 can significantly increase the healthy lifespan of mice by almost 25%.
