MSK Research Highlights, November 6, 2024

New MSK research marks a potential advance against RAS-driven cancers; breaks down data silos to better predict cancer outcomes with the help of artificial intelligence (AI); identifies two enzymes vital for maintaining brain health; uncovers how changes to “helper” proteins drive cancer cell survival; develops a new model for investigating lung cancer metastasis; and uses AI to improve outcome predictions in sarcoma.

Ancient Immune Defense System Plays an Unexpected Role in Cancer, MSK Researchers Find

Along with defending against pathogens, the body’s innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways — ways that have important implications for the development of cancer, researchers at MSK are discovering.

MSK Research Highlights September 18, 2024

New MSK research uses saturation genome editing to better understanding of the RAD51C gene, which has been linked to higher risks of breast and ovarian cancer; sheds new light on brain metastasis; and finds a commercially available contrast dye could help surgeons better separate cancer from healthy tissue.
