The possibility of genetic risk factors for pancreatic cancers has motivated the scientists to pursue future studies related to specific genes.
Most of the mutations that cause ARVC are in genes encoding components of a type of cell junctions called “desmosomes,” which are particularly abundant in tissues that experience great mechanical force, such as the heart.
To be sure, creating an effective vaccine from the Rockefeller scientists' research will not be easy, and it certainly will not be quick. Still, this work is "identifying possible targets in the virus, and that's really the exciting part of it," says Dr. Adel Mahmoud, a lecturer at Princeton...
