Breast Cancer

If chromosomes are unevenly distributed or otherwise altered during cell division, this normally damages the daughter cells and impairs their viability. Not in cancer cells, however, in which chromosome instability can actually confer a growth advantage under certain circumstances. Moreover, as scie more

A team of researchers from Vienna has developed methods of deciphering precisely how plants and medicinal substances affect the body’s own hormone balance. Initial analyses show that in high doses some natural substances promote the growth of breast cancer cells. The number of cancer cases has been more

An imaging approach developed at UZH enables the study of breast cancer tissue in greater detail. It uses 35 biomarkers to identify the different cell types in breast tumors and its surrounding area compared to the current standard of testing single markers. This increases the precision of tumor ana more

High Resolution Melting (HRM) is a novel and promising screening technique used for mutation analysis and detection. Its application prevents the need to sequence all the exons of a gene when looking for novel mutations. The method is therefore time- more

One of the supposed and novel mechanisms is an alteration of circadian gene expression. Ci more

The adult mammary gland is a bilayered branching epithelial structure consisting of an outer layer of basal cells and an inner layer of luminal cells. The neonatal structure expands rapidly during puberty and then undergoes cyclic growth in response to the changing hormonal stimuli (progesterone and more
