Transitioning pancreatic cells show lasting epigenetic cancer traits

Transitioning pancreatic cells show lasting epigenetic cancer traits

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic "marks" in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a temporary "memory" of those cancer-linked marks.

New drug combinations found to potentially be more effective in targeting pancreatic cancers - UNC Lineberger

UNC Lineberger researchers and colleagues have discovered an important overlap in genes regulated by the activity of three proteins that support the growth of pancreatic cancer. The post New drug combinations found to potentially be more effective in targeting pancreatic cancers appeared first on UNC Lineberger.
