Study paves the way for more accurate prenatal genetic testing for congenital heart disease

One in every 100 babies is born with a congenital heart disease (CHD), and CHD is the major cause of death in newborns – however the genetic cause of these developmental disorders is not fully understood, hindering the development of accurate pre-natal genetic testing.

Scientists find how cells remain dormant for years before awakening to create metastatic cancer

Mount Sinai researchers have solved a major mystery in cancer research: How cancer cells remain dormant for years after they leave a tumor and travel to other parts of the body, before awakening to create metastatic cancer.

Infant's immune system may be better than the adult immune system

As any parent knows, infants are prone to getting respiratory infections. But a new study shows that the infant immune system is stronger than most people think and beats the adult immune system at fighting off new pathogens.

Genetic makeup of neuroblastoma shows marked spatial and temporal variability

Tumors are heterogeneous, which means that different parts of the same tumor can be genetically distinct. This phenomenon, known as intratumor heterogeneity, is steadily gaining in significance within the field of cancer research.

Researchers identify a new approach to triggering differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia

In the late 1980s, scientists developed a revolutionary approach to treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. Called differentiation therapy, it amounted to a bona fide cure for many patients.

Next-generation sequencing for minimal residual disease proven more sensitive than flow cytometry

In pediatric and young adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah), DNA sequencing-based detection of residual disease between three and 12 months accurately identified all patients who would eventually relapse, while other methods were less predictive.
