30+ min ago   (55+ words) Hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of primary liver cancer, remains one of the world’s most lethal malignancies, and its treatment options have changed surprisingly little over the past two decades. Now, a review published in Medical Oncology argues that…...

52+ min ago   (587+ words) A team of researchers in China has sequenced the first complete mitochondrial genome of the jumping plant louse Bactericera gobica and, by combining it with nearly every other Triozidae mitogenome available, assembled the most comprehensive genetic dataset ever compiled for…...

1+ hour, 7+ min ago   (55+ words) Gene editing has long promised a revolution in cancer medicine, yet the promise has remained stubbornly out of reach for one deceptively simple reason: getting the CRISPR-Cas9 machinery into tumor cells, and only tumor cells, is extraordinarily difficult. A new…...
