Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created the world’s largest catalogue of human breast cells, which has revealed early cell changes in healthy carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations.
The University of Cambridge has received UKRI funding for research on age-related biological changes in model organisms as part of a national collaboration.
Researchers have explored the cellular changes that occur in human mammary tissue in lactating and non-lactating women, offering insight into the relationship between pregnancy, lactation and breast cancer.
Researchers may have found the earliest changes that occur in seemingly healthy breast tissue long before any tumours appear, according to a new study published today in the journal Nature Communications.
Naked mole-rats can live for an incredibly long time and have an exceptional resistance to cancer thanks to unique conditions in their bodies that stop cancer cells multiplying, according to new research.
