Protein may represent a switch to turn off B cell lymphoma
eurekalert.org — “Researchers studying the molecular signals that drive a specific type of lymphoma have discovered a key biological pathway leading to this type of cancer. Cancerous cells have been described as being "addicted" to certain oncogenes (cancer-causing genes), and the new research may lay the groundwork for breaking that addiction and effectively treating aggressive types of B cell lymphoma.” View full resource at eurekalert.org

Is there a link between autism and genetics? - Ask Doctor K, Harvard Medical School
askdoctork.com — “DEAR DOCTOR K: I've heard that scientists have discovered genes that cause autism. Could this lead to a cure? DEAR READER: Autism is a disorder of child development. Kids with autism have difficulty communicating and forming social relationships. The studies you are referring to identify genes that increase the risk of autism, and could someday lead to a cure. I think of these studies as the first steps down what is going to be a long road. Nevertheless, they are genuinely exciting.” View full resource at askdoctork.com
