Species differences in somatic mutations shed light on aging

A recent study published in the journal Nature aimed to elucidate, through a comparative analysis, the diversity in mutagenesis across different species, and the long-established hypothesis regarding evolution in the rates of somatic mutation, as well as their role in cancer and aging.

Study determines how much U.S. hospitals mark up the price of cancer therapies

U.S. spending on cancer therapies has risen sharply in recent years. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital analyzed data on drug pricing from 61 National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers to determine how much U.S. hospitals mark up the price of cancer therapies for patients with private health insurance.
