  • MicroRNA causes "double whammy" of metastasis and angiogenesis in breast cancer 23/02/2010 12:16:00

    New research shows the microRNA, miR-9, plays a significant role in metastasis and blood vessel growth in breast cancer and could provide a target for future therapies.

  • Feature: Nature or Nurture? Neither! 29/12/2009 08:06:00

    It’s an age old debate: nature or nurture. But as Emma Whitelaw is finding, our individual differences may be due to neither, they might be down to dumb luck.

  • Mover and shaker of the genome 19/08/2008 13:17:00

    Epigenetics is moving from the laboratory to the clinic and the pharmacy, with several histone deacetylase inhibitors on the market and epigenetic screening likely to become as widespread as genetic screening.
