First Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Patients With Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young
January 31, 2013 Scientists report the first generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with an uncommon form of diabetes, maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY). These cells offer a ... > full story -
Genetic Landscape of Common Brain Tumors Holds Key to Personalized Treatment
January 24, 2013 Nearly the entire genetic landscape of the most common form of brain tumor can be explained by abnormalities in just five genes, an international team of researchers report. Knowledge of the genomic ... > full story -
Forecasting Brain Tumors Like a Storm
January 23, 2013 The critical question shortly after a brain cancer patient starts treatment: how well is it working? But there hasn't been a good way to tell. Researchers have developed a new method -- similar to ... > full story -
Promising Prognostic Marker for Aggressive Breast Cancer
