Researchers discover key aspects involved in DNA repair mechanism

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified key aspects within the mechanism behind DNA repair in our bodies. For the primary time, they showed that the “proofreading” portion of the DNA replicating enzyme polymerase epsilon ensured secure termination of replication at damaged portions of the DNA strand, ultimately saving DNA from severe damage. This recent […]

Early lung cancer detection with a machine learning model based on imaging, clinical, and DNA methylation biomarkers

Early lung cancer detection with a machine learning model based on imaging, clinical, and DNA methylation biomarkers

In a recent study published in The Lancet Digital Health, researchers discuss the event and validation of a combined model comprising imaging, clinical, and cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation biomarkers for improved classification of pulmonary nodules and the sooner diagnosis of lung cancer. Study: Accurate classification of pulmonary nodules by a combined model of clinical, imaging, and […]
