An extensive research project will examine the errors occurring in the genes of several thousand Norwegian patients. The objective is to develop treatment that is better adapted to the individual patient. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-03-personalised-cancer-treatment.html Cancer Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:45:54 EST news281346311 (Medical Xpress)—Researchers from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute's cancer genome project have developed a computer model to identify the fingerprints of DNA-damaging processes that drive cancer development. Armed with these signatures, scientists will be able to search for the chemicals, biological pathways and environmental agents responsible. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-01-cancer-causing-mutational-signatures-genome.html Genetics Fri, 11 Jan 2013 07:30:01 EST news277110869 One of the biggest puzzles in neuroscience is how our brains encode thoughts, such as perceptions and memories, at the cellular level. Some evidence suggests that ensembles of neurons represent each unique piece of information, but no one knows just what these ensembles look like, or how they form. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-11-brain-encode-behavior.html Neuroscience Wed, 21 Nov 2012 12:00:12 EST news272714326
