A large international study has mapped the genetic landscape of feline cancers for the first time, revealing striking similarities between tumor-driving mutations in cats, humans, and dogs.

Cats develop this subtype more often than humans, giving scientists access to samples, and offering clues to new medicines ...

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and share much of our lives. They also share much of their biology with humans ...

Cancer commonly occurs in companion animals such as cats and dogs. In recent years, researchers’ understanding of dog tumors on a molecular level has significantly progressed, but they still didn't ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

Genetic alterations lie at the heart of cancer development, but scientists may have been overlooking a powerful driver of these changes - the everyday nutrients that feed our cells. "Most efforts have ...

A study led by Dr. Li Chuanyun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has revealed how recently evolved human-specific genes—critical for ...
