Gene mutations in breast cancer
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes responsible for creating tumor suppressor proteins. These proteins help repair damaged DNA, so the two BRCA genes play a role in ensuring the stability of genetic material.
Stay sitting for too long can cause depression
During the COVID-19 outbreak that began in March 2020, many people suddenly became more sedentary as they complied with stay-at-home orders or self-quarantine. Recently published research shows that people who continue to spend more time sitting in the following weeks are more likely to experience symptoms of depression.
Management of patients with pancreatic carcinoma carrying BRCA gene mutations
For readers interested in the topic of pancreatic cancer caused by BRCA gene mutations. The content of the scientific article below points out the importance of testing to identify germline BRCA gene mutations and provides evidence for maintenance treatment with targeted drugs in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma due to this mutation.
Breast cancer in women: Concepts, symptoms and risk factors
Cancer is a disease related to uncontrolled growth of cells in the body. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States.
Generations of gene sequencing technology
In 1953, the discovery of the double helix structure of the DNA molecule was first announced. 60 years since that breakthrough discovery, scientists have continuously strived to develop gene sequencing technology. Up to now, people have upgraded gene sequencing technology to the 3rd generation.
Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of monkeypox in humans of the Ministry of Health
On the afternoon of October 3, 2022, the Ministry of Health confirmed the first case of monkeypox in Vietnam. Previously, based on disease records from WHO, the Ministry of Health issued Decision No. 2099/QD-BYT on Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of monkeypox in humans.
