Supercomputer Unlocks Mutant Cancer Secrets
Scientists have discovered how genetic cancer mutations attack the networks that control human cells, a finding that could lead to the development of more-precise, personalized cancer treatments. University of Copenhagen researchers, along with counterparts at Yale, Zurich, Rome and Tottori, have developed software that computationally translates the effects of cancer mutations on the function of proteins in individual patients. This can unravel how disease mutations target and damage the protein-signaling network inside human cells.
