Frameshift switching of the MSH6 C8 coding homopolymer drives stochastic loss and restoration of MSH6 expression like a molecular ON/OFF switch. Credit: Nature Genetics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41588-024-01777-9 Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that’s been observed for the first time by researchers at UCL and University Medical Center Utrecht. The number of genetic mutations in a cancer cell was previously thought to be purely down to chance. But a new study, published in Read More
