Cells with oncogenic mutations overtake human tissue with age, research shows

It's worth noting, in light of recently published research, that a majority of people won't be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. According to the National Cancer Institute, about 40% of people will, which means 60% won't.

Researchers uncover a key role for SIRT1 enzyme in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive type of leukemia. Despite advances in treatments, patients have an extremely poor prognosis, highlighting the need to explore the genetic components that lead to the formation of T-ALL, as well as the need to discover new targeted therapeutic approaches and treatment resistance.

Flawed genetic switches could be at the origin of malformations or developmental diseases

Embryonic development follows delicate stages: for everything to go well, many genes must coordinate their activity according to a very meticulous scheme and tempo. This precision mechanism sometimes fails, leading to more or less disabling malformations.
