Pancreatic cancer is a formidable disease, and advances in early detection and improved therapeutics have been slow to come forth. With new advances in molecular genetics in the field of pancreatic tumorigenesis, it is an opportune time to use these recent discoveries to enhance our understanding of
Epigenetics is considered by many to be the "new genetics" because of the overwhelming evidence of the contribution of non-genetic factorsΒ such asΒ nutrition, environment, and chemical exposureΒ on gene expression.Β The effects of epigenetics are vast, including tissue/organ regeneration, X-chromosome
Having been a fairly dormant specialty for many decades, in recent years there has been a remarkable increase in activity in Neuro-oncology from basic science through to the clinics. Reflecting this there have been considerable advancements in the understanding of the biology of CNS malignancies whi
