The discovery of a gene linked to skin cancer in zebrafish could lead to new treatments for the disease.
The discovery of a gene linked to skin cancer in zebrafish could lead to new treatments for the disease. The gene, called SETDB1, is thought to work alongside another known cancer… https://www.understandinganimalresearch.org.uk/news/research-medical-benefits/new-skin-cancer-gene-new-treatment/

Armed and tagged immune cells can be watched attacking tumours in mice in real time.
Armed and tagged immune cells can be watched attacking tumours in mice in real time. Lymphocyte cells were armed with T cell receptors which allowed them to detect and destroy… https://www.understandinganimalresearch.org.uk/news/research-medical-benefits/scientists-watch-armed-immune-cells-fight-cancer/
