CTCF is a critical protein known to play various roles in key biological processes such as transcription. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital used a next-generation protein degradation technology to study CTCF. Their work revealed the superiority of the approach in addition to providing functional insights into how CTCF regulates transcription. The study, published […]
Women who ovulate for longer over their lifetimes have a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer, suggesting that suppressing ovulation can lower this risk. A new international study, published this week in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, offers new clues as to how oral contraceptives, pregnancy and breastfeeding impact ovarian cancer risk beyond […]
A new blood test that can identify progression of osteoarthritis in the knee is more accurate than current methods, providing an important tool to advance research and speed discovery of new therapies. The test relies on a biomarker and fills an important void in medical research for a common disease that currently lacks effective treatments. […]
insights from industryDean Stuart Nimesh KhadkaThermo Fisher Scientific Process analytical technology (PAT), a quality assurance program for the pharmaceutical industry developed by the US Food and Drug Administration, enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to control critical process parameters (CPPs). When manufacturers need to ensure content consistency across products, such as moisture and structure, it makes sense to ensure […]
Cancer has many faces—no wonder, then, that the range of cancer-causing mutations is huge as well. The totality of such genomic alterations in an individual is what experts call a “mutational landscape.” These landscapes differ from one another depending on the type of cancer. And even people suffering from the same cancer often have different […]
