    Researchers at EPFL and UNIL have uncovered a new way in which cancer can develop: whole genome doubling (WGD) changes the way DNA is organized in the 3D space, leading to the activation of oncogenes that drive cancer growth.

    Patients with metastatic bladder cancer have very poor prognosis and predictive biomarkers are urgently needed for early clinical detection and intervention. In this study, we evaluate the effect and mechanism of Suprabasin (SBSN) on bladder cancer metastasis. A tissue array was used to detect SBSN expression by immunohistochemistry. A tumour-bearing mouse model was used for metastasis evaluation…

    Thirteen percent of cancers worldwide are associated with viral infections. While many human oncogenic viruses are widely endemic, very few infected individuals develop cancer. This raises the question why oncogenic viruses encode viral oncogenes if they can replicate and spread between human hosts without causing cancer. Interestingly, viral infection triggers innate immune signaling pathways…

    Genome-wide association studies (GWASes) have identified many noncoding germline single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with an increased risk of developing cancer. However, how these SNPs affect cancer risk is still largely unknown. We used a systems biology approach to analyse the regulatory role of cancer-risk SNPs in thirteen tissues. By using data from the Genotype-Tissue…
