Findings could open up new avenue for precision therapy for the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women that killed 670,000 in 2022 alone A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a key mechanism ...

By pinpointing the amino acids ... cancer-specific epigenetic changes in cells. Epigenetics ("on top of" genetics) refers to chemical modifications to the genome that don't change the DNA sequence.

In fact, they modeled the action of all genetic operators combined in relation to sequence length ... the onset of the eukaryotic cell at about 500 amino acids in a clear threshold, marking ...

Located unusually early in the protein sequence ... amino acids. That length is far too short to support any of the gene's known roles in cellular defense or energy regulation. Yet in horse cells ...

These findings offer a mechanistic explanation for the pro-tumorigenic role of GSH and reshape our understanding of how amino acids, including cysteine, are supplied to cancer cells, unveiling a novel ...
