Cancer’s Dangerous Renovations to Our Chromosomes Revealed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cancer remodels the architecture of our chromosomes so the disease can take hold and spread, University of Virginia researchers have revealed.<\/p>\n

This remodeling is important because the arrangement of the components in our chromosomes actually affects the workings of our genes. With these renovations, cancer begins making a comfortable home for itself inside our cells.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when the genetic code in DNA sequence may largely remain the same, the three-dimensional structure of chromosomes in cancer can be very different from our normal cells,\u201d said researcher Chongzhi Zang, a computational biologist with UVA\u2019s Center for Public Health Genomics<\/strong>. \u201cA better understanding of the cancer genome structure can give us insights for developing new drugs to specifically target the Achilles\u2019 heel of each cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Findings Published<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The researchers have\u00a0published their findings in the scientific journal Genome Biology<\/strong><\/a>. The UVA research team consisted of Zhenjia Wang, Aakrosh Ratan and Zang<\/strong>. The experimental work was done in collaboration with scientists at Northwestern University, University of Miami and Mayo Clinic.<\/p>\n
