A study of 1,563 patients reveals that epigenetic regulation provides a more granular understanding of AML than traditional genetic sequencing alone. The findings correlate these subgroups with clinical outcomes and treatment responses.
University of Minnesota scientists create first synthetic SpudCell
University of Minnesota researchers have developed SpudCell, a synthetic construct that performs fundamental biological processes like growth and replication. This bottom-up engineering effort provides a platform for studying the threshold between inanimate matter and biological behavior.
