Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory report they have identified a three-part molecular circuit involving SRSF1, Aurora kinase A (AURKA) and MYC that helps drive aggressive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In laboratory models, a splice-switching antisense oligonucleotide designed to alter AURKA splicing disrupted the circuit, reducing tumor-cell viability and triggering programmed cell death.

Researchers at Spain's National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) have developed a comprehensive catalog of mutational 'scars' in DNA caused by cancer. This breakthrough, published in Nature, could help bypass resistances to treatments like PARP inhibitors. The study analyzes thousands of tumor samples to identify key genetic patterns.
