A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy is detrimental to regular cells, it occurs in as many as 90% of tumors. How ...

The study, published in Nature Genetics, shows that interferon-alpha can push mutant blood stem cells to mature rapidly, ultimately reducing the number of cancerous cells in the bone marrow. Blood ...

Emerging immunotherapy treatments for multiple myeloma target B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), a protein found on the surface of cancer cells. Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that develops when ...

New JAX research shows mutant blood cells reshape the bone marrow environment in ways that promote disease progression, opening new avenues for prevention. Pre-cancerous blood cells can actively ...
