Researchers have identified 2 proteins that could serve as new biomarkers for #pancreatic #cancer. These protein markers can help distinguish cancer from non-cancer and track how patients are responding to treatment. This offers a new direction for the early detection & monitoring. bit.ly/4mbboX0

Breakthrough news in the fight against lung cancer! 🚨 A new study shows how molecules from a patient's own immune cells (natural killer cells) could reawaken the body's defenses to combat tough tumors for hard-to-treat lung cancers; harnessing the body's own natural killer cells to fight back.

Liver disease can affect anyone, not just those who are overweight 🤔 A Study found that even healthy-weight people can have fat in their liver, & it might be because of their genes. Learning about these genes can help doctors figure out who's at risk & improve care for everyone.

🧬 Today is National DNA Day 🧬
We wouldn't be where we are today without the hard work of Friedrich Miescher (1869) and Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick (1953). Thanks to their contributions, the foundation of genetics and genomic sciences is strong.
