- Cancer stem cells (CSC) are a subset of tumor cells that initiate tumor initiation and growth. CSC remaining following cancer treatment can promote a cancer relapse.
A number of recently publications have heralded the advent of Precision Medicine in Oncology, where next generation sequencing technology, other ’omics technologies, serial biopsies, so...
Understanding disease at a deeper level so that it can be targeted more precisely is the essence of precision medicine. Rapid technological advance, particularly in genomics and sensor-based...
In December 2012 the UK Prime Minister announced the 100,000 genomes project to introduce whole genome sequencing for treatment into the UK National Health Service (NHS) o...
Precision medicine promises a more effective approach to disease treatment and management. It is based on analyzing mutations of disease samples to unlock mechanisms of disease development an...
Personalised Healthcare is essential to AstraZeneca’s approach to drug development and is adopted by more than 80% of drug products in clinical development. Selection of the right patie...
Over the past decade, there has been a rapid growth in studies of secreted membrane vesicles, collectively called extracellular vesicles (EVs). (1) The release of EVs has been reported in the...

Oncogenic mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) or 2 (IDH2) compromise their normal activity and induce NADPH-dependent (D)2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) production within the cytosol or m...
Post-translational methylations play central roles in epigenetic gene regulation pathways that are central to stem cell regulation. Lysine methylations are turn-on switches for hundreds of di...
Understanding how genes coordinate their expression across cells in a growing embryo can provide insights into the transcriptional programs that control development. Intercellular variability...
The therapeutic utility of stem cells is rooted in an understanding -- and exploitation -- of their natural role from earliest development to lifes end. Their job is first to participate in o...
The remarkable diversity we see between different cell types in the human body is governed by the specificity attained through transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory programs. Cancer is a...
