Understanding breast cancer ( Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute ) In a study led by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, researchers have identified nine new genes that drive the development of breast cancer. This takes the tally of all genes associated with breast cancer development to 40. The mutated cancer-causing genes were different in different cancer samples, indicating that breast cancer is genetically very diverse ... www.eurekalert.org

New genetic 'map' drawn up that will give better diagnosis for breast cancer patients and more effective treatment Researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, Cambridgeshire, discovered that breast cancer is a diverse range of species rather than a single one. www.dailymail.co.uk
Why women wiggling in high heels could help improve prosthetic limbs and robots ( Wellcome Trust ) People walking normally, women tottering in high heels and ostriches strutting all exert the same forces on the ground despite very differently-shaped feet, according to research funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. The finding suggests that prosthetic lower limbs and robots' legs could be made more efficient by making ... www.eurekalert.org
Untangling the development of breast cancer The team created a catalog of all the mutations in the genomes of the 21 breast cancer genomes. They identified entirely new mutational processes that drive breast cancer development, including one remarkable process defined by localized regions of hypermutation found in most of the breast cancers. This phenomenon has never been seen before. They also found that, once many mutations have ... www.eurekalert.org
