Genomic Butterfly Effect Starts in Telomeres, Spreads to Influence Cell Fate

The twitch of a butterfly’s wing can initiate a cascade of increasingly substantial events, culminating in changes that are both profound and far-reaching. That’s the gist of any butterfly effect, whether it’s the formation...

Drug that treat human breast cancer might also work for canine lung cancer

Despite those velvet paintings of poker-playing dogs smoking pipes, cigars and cigarettes, our canine friends really don't use tobacco. But like many humans who have never smoked, dogs still get lung cancer. And, like many...
