'Cell line atlas' provides a crucial resource for developing therapies for biliary tract cancer Advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) includes cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma, and ampullary carcinoma. BTC is a rare and aggressive group of cancers, carrying one of the worst prognoses in all of oncology. Only about 10% of patients survive beyond five years.

Computational framework reveals how cancers rewire driver genes to beat chemotherapy Just as species adapt over generations, our body's cells accumulate DNA changes throughout life. Most are harmless, yet a few "driver" mutations give a cell a competitive edge and can spark cancer. Chemotherapy then adds a new evolutionary pressure, encouraging further genetic changes that let tumors bounce back.

Mouse memory hinges on a nine-letter protein fragment exclusive to neurons Cells have a trick called splicing. They can cut a gene's message into pieces and decide which fragments to keep. By mixing and matching these fragments, a single gene can produce many different proteins, giving tissues and organs more options to thrive and evolve. Out of all tissues, splicing is most prevalent in the brain.
