First study to identify molecular mechanism that links inflammation to cancer epigenetics

news-medical.net — “Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists report that sharp rises in levels of reactive oxygen molecules, and the inflammation that results, trigger biochemical changes that silence genes in a pattern often seen in cancer cells. The researchers confirmed this gene-silencing effect in mice that develop inflammation-induced colon cancer.View full resource at news-medical.net

Stem Cells May Be Key To Understanding The Origins Of Colon Cancer And Detecting Relapse - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “Scientists at IRB Barcelona report new data in support of link between stem cells and cancer, opening door to new tools for diagnosis and treatment. Colorectal cancer cells trigger a set of genes similar to those found in intestinal stem cells, scientists at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) have found. The team of researchers, led by ICREA researcher Eduard Batlle, propose that patients with colorectal cancer undergo genetic tests of their intestinal epithelium in order View full resource at qualitypointtech.net
