Study shows how whole genome sequencing test reveals details about cancer growth

Professor Serena Nik-Zainal of Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) and the University of Cambridge headed a group of scientists that analyzed the whole genetic make-up or whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of over 12,000 NHS cancer patients in the largest research of its type.

Genomics provides a deeper understanding of the cause of hydrocephalus

The cerebral ventricles—four linked cavities of the brain that are packed with cerebrospinal fluid—become enlarged in hydrocephalus, or “water on the brain;” however, the cause is unknown in many instances.

Scientists reveal the origins and provide a detailed ID card of pancreatic endocrine stem cells

The pancreas is a key metabolic regulator. When pancreatic beta cells cease producing enough insulin, blood sugar levels rise dangerously — a phenomenon known as hyperglycemia — thus triggering diabetes.

Deeper understanding of genomics support researchers discover new perceptions

In genomic studies, researchers look at a population’s DNA to figure out how genetics affects health and disease.

Spatial maps offer insights into the battle between melanoma cells and immune cells

Melanoma is a somewhat unusual cancer-;one that blooms before our very eyes, often on sun-exposed skin, and can quickly become deadly as it turns our own skin against us and spreads to other organs.
