Deep Learning Model for Label-Free Identification of Different Cancer Cells

Cancer cells that initiate metastasis, or the spread of the disease from its primary location, are different from cancer cells that stay in the original tumor. Distinguishing metastasis-initiating cell types can determine the severity of cancer and help medical practitioners decide on a course of treatment.

Genes Responsible for Aging Identified in Nematodes

The USask research team uncovered a pair of genes involved in removing cells of toxins that build in the body and cause aging while working with small nematode worms called C. elegans. The researchers discovered that inactivating genes named CCF-1 and PAL-1 caused nematodes to die 50% faster than usual.
