African Ancestry Affects Gene Expression

Levels of African ancestry in a person’s genome determines the level at which certain genes are expressed, findings that could offer insight into the different risk of diseases.

Scientific Advances
Oct 30, 2019

Experimental Drug May Reduce Cancer Growth and Progression

Scientists co-led by Sui Huang, MD, PhD, found an experimental drug called metarrestin significantly reduced metastasis and cancer progression in mouse models.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Sep 17, 2019

Expanding Genetic Screening Guidelines for Colon Cancer

A new study provided evidence that current guidelines for genetic screenings for colorectal cancer-associated genes are missing patients and should be expanded.

Scientific Advances
