How Bread Yeast and Book Damage Help Clarify Epigenetics
By Sara Tiner 
Genes don’t change, but how they are used by the body can. That shift in use (which is called epigenetics) can mean the difference between illness and health. To better understand how that happens Mayo researchers are examining how genes are activated (used) and copied. With a recent publication in the journal Science, a team […]

Pancreas neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are a collection of rare neoplasms distinct from pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma. Although the molecular profile of pNETs is somewhat unclear, advances in molecular tumor genotyping is one area of research that is advancing the understanding of this disease. In a 2017 article published in Oncotarget, Ferga Gleeson, M.D., M.B., B.Ch., a specialist […]

Mayo scientists discover missing link in DNA damage repair
By bobnellis 
For years, researchers have known that our genome is protected by a system of detection, evaluation and repair processes that activate any time DNA damage occurs. Upon detection, the damage is assessed, repaired in one way or another, or, if it can’t be repaired the cell is cued to self-destruct. Much of that effort is […]

Genomic Medicine – It's Not Just for Research Anymore
A change has occurred in medicine. Just wanted to make note. A couple of years ago, on the 10th anniversary of the mapping of the human genome, the national media issued a number of stories lamenting what they saw as the irrelevance of that achievement for medical patients. I won’t list the bylines here, but […]
