Symposier - Pasi Janne on new lung and colorectal cancer gene discovery | Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

symposier.com — “Uploaded and shared in Youtube by: DanaFarberCancerInst — The new frontier of cancer treatment, personalized medicine, involves identifying specific genetic abnormalities in cancerous cells and targeting them with drugs that are most likely to cause an effective response. Pasi Janne, MD, PhD, discusses the discovery that some types of non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer share similar genetic abnormalities with cancers that are known to respond to targeted therapies, and explains howView full resource at symposier.com

international research team discovers genes and disease mechanisms behind a common form of muscular dystrophy

fhcrc.org — “Continuing a series of groundbreaking discoveries begun in 2010 about the genetic causes of the third most common form of inherited muscular dystrophy, an international team of researchers led by a scientist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has identified the genes and proteins that damage muscle cells, as well as the mechanisms that can cause the disease. The findings are online and will be reported in the Jan. 17 print edition of the journal Developmental Cell.View full resource at fhcrc.org
