… Thursday, January 13, 2022 Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) today announced that Rémy Evard has joined as its new Chief Digital Officer and Head of Technology. In this role, Evard will be responsible for the overall design and execution of the organization’s digital strategy. Evard joins

Sloan Kettering Institute investigators have learned how Hedgehog proteins, which are important in both development and cancer, are assembled.

… Thursday, June 10, 2021 Hedgehog proteins are some of the most important molecules in biology. These proteins help regulate cell growth, specialization, and patterning in the development of embryos by acting as messengers between cells. In addition to playing a key role in how proper tissues are formed

New findings from researchers at the Sloan Kettering Institute provide insight into a fundamental biological process called the epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

… Wednesday, January 8, 2020 Summary Scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute have identified the molecular cues that control a fundamental biological process called the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. The results may inform the development of therapies designed to target diseases in which this

斯隆凯特琳研究所的研究人员的新发现，为深入了解一种被称为上皮-间质转化的基本生物学过程提供了重要思路。斯隆凯特琳研究所的研究人员的新发现，为深入了解一种被称为上皮-间质转化的基本生物学过程提供了重要思路。

… Wednesday, January 8, 2020 总结 斯隆·凯特琳研究所 (Sloan Kettering Institute) 的科学家已经确定了控制被称为上皮-间质转化这一基本生物学过程的分子线索。该研究结果可能为开发旨在针对这一过程出错的疾病的疗法提供重要的信息。 人体有 70% 是水，但我们不会像花园里扎破的水管那样漏水，这一点是十分不可思议的。我们应该感谢表皮细胞，让我们的内部和外部均保持紧密密封。 上皮细胞结合在一起形成扁平、连续的壁。这些壁排列在身体内外两侧。它们不仅保证重要的体液不会从体内流失，还能防止有害微生物进入体内。 上皮组织是在胚胎发育过程中形成的，必须在整个生命过程中进行维护和修复

Learn how immunotherapy holds promise for transforming the treatment of gynecologic cancers.

… Friday, December 29, 2017 Summary MSK scientists and doctors played a leading role in developing immunotherapies that have transformed the treatment of melanoma, lung cancer, and other cancers. Now this therapeutic approach is giving new hope to people with gynecologic cancers, including ovarian cancer

A family of drugs developed at MSK targets disrupted processes in cells in diseases related to aging.

… Thursday, March 1, 2018 Summary Cancer and Alzheimer’s are both diseases of aging. So it’s not entirely unexpected that a type of drug developed to target proteins in cells that get disrupted over time might work on both conditions. Like cancer, Alzheimer’s disease involves changes in proteins. When

Advances in diagnostic and imaging modalities are making it possible to detect complex melanoma earlier, with greater accuracy, and are helping guide surgical approaches and patient monitoring plans.

… Wednesday, October 12, 2016 Early detection of melanoma is paramount to determine the best treatment approach and achieve a potential cure. Advances in diagnostic and imaging modalities are making it possible to detect melanoma earlier, with greater accuracy, and are helping guide surgical approaches

Three emerging investigators are tackling the mysteries of biology and cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering.

… Monday, April 1, 2013 Summary Three emerging investigators are tackling the mysteries of biology and cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Can studying zebrafish lead someday to new cancer treatments? How can poxviruses be used to cause tumor cell death? What do leukemia cells have in common with the stem

The DNA breaks that occur during meiosis are necessary but dangerous. Scientists now have a better handle on how cells control the chaos.

… Wednesday, April 7, 2021 Sexual reproduction is like shuffling the genetic cards. Not only are you a blend of the genetic attributes of your parents, but the sperm and egg that came together to make you were themselves the product of a genetic shuffling called meiosis . Each time sperm and egg form from

Meet molecular biologist Agnel Sfeir, who joined SKI's Molecular Biology Program in March 2021.

… Thursday, March 18, 2021 Molecular biologist Agnel Sfeir studies how DNA is broken and repaired, and how these processes are related to aging, cancer, and other phenomena. A recent interest of hers is in the biology of the DNA inside of mitochondria — the “power plants” of the cell. She calls this DNA
