Lopes-Bastos et al. report that melanoma in zebrafish initiates without telomerase (or ALT) activation. However, in late progression, telomerase becomes essential for sustained tumor growth. Tumors that fail to re-activate telomerase slow down growth and even regress. This occurs due to tumor-autonomous (genomic instability) and non-tumor-autonomous (immune response) mechanisms.

Um estudo internacional envolvendo 56 investigadores e clínicos de nove países, liderado pela cientista Carla Oliveira, do Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde da Universidade do Porto (i3S), e publicado na prestigiada revista GUT, definiu novas causas de risco genético de cancro gástrico e mamário e critérios clínicos para os identificar.

A groundbreaking international study has provided critical insights into the role of CTNNA1 gene variants in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), revealing new associations with cancer risk and paving the way for improved genetic testing and clinical management of affected individuals.

The study involved 56 researchers and clinicians from 9 countries, from the European and American continents, led by an i3S team in Porto.
