Blood Cancer's Genetic Warning Signs Found Years Early

A major new study has found that certain chronic blood cancers carry detectable genetic warning signs years before a patient's condition visibly worsens. Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute tracked patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, a group of rare blood cancers, for up to 25 years

A new study from Duke University School of Medicine and the University of Rochester Medical Center used a CRISP

The research, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and published in Science Advances, points to

Stanford Finds Immune Cells That Explode to Kill Bacteria

Stanford researchers studying flatworms just found something nobody expected: immune cells that self-destruct like tiny grenades, wiping out bacteria and other threats within minutes, then vanishing without a trace. The cells, named "ruptoblasts," don't behave like any immune cell known in humans. T

Fructose and Ovarian Cancer: What New Research Shows
