Current Stories

FSHD myoblasts are powerless when faced with stress
Quantitative proteomics reveals that post-transcriptional downregulation of RNA quality control and the inability to respond to cellular stress may be the major causes of muscle cell dysfunction in FSHD.

New estimates on the prevalence of hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and HIV among newly diagnosed cancer patients.
Genetic similarities among some types of cancer
Genetic correlation analyses reveal that several types of cancer share heritability.
Head and neck cancer cells are sensitive to WEE1 inhibition
Deficiency in tumor suppressor p53 might allow head and neck cancer cells to proliferate better but also makes them vulnerable to a cell cycle kinase inhibitor.
