University of Cincinnati researchers have discovered that cooperation between two key genes drive cancer growth, spread and treatment resistance in one particularly aggressive type of breast cancer. The good news is, though, with this knowledge, they can continue to aim their targeted treatments at these genes, singularly and together, to stop breast cancer in its tracks.

A team of UC College of Medicine researchers tackled a cardiac condition in Maine Coon cats after a baffled owner reached out for help. Sakthivel Sadayappan, PhD, lead a team that was able to identify a mutation in a gene known as troponin-T (TNNT2), which regulates heart contractility. It is present in humans, but this was the first time it was associated with heart disease in cats.
