Don’t Change Breast Cancer Guidelines on Flawed Research

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

    Clinical recommendations discouraging the use of CYP2D6 gene testing to guide tamoxifen therapy in breast cancer patients are based on studies with flawed methodology and should be reconsidered, according to the results of a Mayo Clinic study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. For years, controversy has surrounded the CYP2D6 […]

Staying One Step Ahead of Cancer

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

    Four researchers at Mayo Clinic combined their talents to spur a “bedside to bench” movement that takes the issues they face in the clinic back to the laboratory in the hopes of discovering biomarkers to help specific patients facing difficult medical problems. George Vasmatzis, Ph.D., co-director of Mayo Clinic’s Biomarker Discovery Program in […]

Tracing the Lineage of Lung Cancer Tumors

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

    A diagnostic test based on chromosomal rearrangements can trace the lineage of lung cancer to determine whether two separate lung cancers in the same patient are independent tumors or a tumor that has spread to another region of the lung, a Mayo Clinic study has found. For patients with multiple tumors, that distinction […]

Diversity in Your Gut Influences Your Health

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

    Before reaching for that daily antacid, you might consider what it’s doing to the trillions of bugs living in your gut. A new Mayo Clinic study in the open access journal Microbiome shows that people who regularly take proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have less diversity among their gut bacteria, putting them at increased […]

Strand-Specific Analysis Shows Protein Binding at Replication Forks and PCNA Unloading from Lagging Strands when Forks Stall

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

Zhiguo Zhang, Ph.D. and colleagues from the Center for Individualized Medicine, offer a new tool for genomic research, through a new method revealing genome-wide association of proteins with leading and lagging strands of DNA replication forks. This will provide a tool for studying the general replication-related processes and a specific mechanism that makes this possible. […]
