Molecular Differences Discovered Among Ovarian Cancer Subgroups

Ovarian cancer is a highly diverse disease with a high rate of overall mortality. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is the most common and aggressive type of epithelial ovarian cancer, exhibiting high levels of tumor heterogeneity and variable clinical outcomes. More...

Human NK Cells Identified by Single-Cell RNA Sequencing

Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes that are crucial for viral defense as well as detecting and killing cancer cells. This cell type is therefore of great interest for cancer immunotherapy. More...

Important Genetic Mechanism Behind Inflammatory Bowel Disease Revealed

The two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, have an important genetic component. More than 240 genetic regions have been identified that associate with IBD, more than any other pathological condition that has been studied. More...

Missing BAP1 Gene Associated with Immunosuppressive Molecules in Uveal Melanoma

Uveal melanoma is a cancer (melanoma) of the eye involving the iris, ciliary body, or choroid (collectively referred to as the uvea). Tumors arise from the pigment cells (melanocytes) that reside within the uvea and give color to the eye. More...
