Scientists discover the enzyme that lets cancer rapidly rewire its DNA

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified the enzyme N4BP2 responsible for chromothripsis, a process where chromosomes break into fragments and reassemble incorrectly, seen in about one in four cancers. This chaotic reshuffling allows cancer cells to evolve rapidly and develop resistance to treatment. Blocking the enzyme significantly reduced genomic destruction in cancer cells, offering a potential new strategy for treating aggressive cancers.

A runaway supermassive black hole has been observed racing through space at 1,600 km/s, leaving a 200,000-light-year trail of newborn stars behind it. This phenomenon provides strong evidence for the theory that gravitational-wave recoil can eject black holes from their galaxies. The black hole, estimated to be moving at roughly 1,600 kilometers per second, appears to have been displaced from its galactic center and is compressing gas ahead of it to ignite star formation.

Many common cooking oils are now being linked to cancer

New research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology suggests that adjusting dietary fat intake, particularly by reducing omega-6 fats and increasing omega-3 fats, may slow the proliferation of cancer cells in men with early-stage prostate cancer. The study, conducted at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, found that men who modified their diet to include more omega-3 fats and fewer omega-6 fats experienced a decrease in the rate of cancer cell division, as indicated by lower Ki-67 levels, compared to those who maintained their regular diet. While the findings are promising, they are preliminary and require further investigation through larger, longer-term studies to determine if dietary changes can prevent cancer spread or delay the need for aggressive treatments.
