14 Jul 2025 – Research Update from the MCM Team (July 2025) |
|
|
|
As reported in our previous research updates, we are investigating the top-scoring genes with associations to various cancers as part of the Mapping Cancer Markers (MCM) project. This article focuses on Ecdysoneless Cell Cycle Regulator (ECD), a gene that is involved in regulating growth and repair.

21 May 2025 – Research Update from the MCM Team (May 2025) |
|
|
|
Drawing upon our previous research updates, we are investigating the top-scoring genes with associations to various cancers as part of the Mapping Cancer Markers (MCM) project. This research update focuses on PDE8B (Phosphodiesterase 8B), a gene that is involved in hormone synthesis and has altered expression in diverse cancers. |

18 Mar 2025 – Research Update from the MCM Team (March 2025) |
|
|
|
As part of our ongoing research updates, we continue to explore the top-scoring genes linked to lung cancer identified by the Mapping Cancer Markers (MCM) project. Following our previous focus on GCM1, this update examines DYNLT1 (Dynein Light Chain Tctex-Type 1), a gene with pivotal roles in intracellular transport and cancer pathophysiology. |

21 Jan 2025 – Research Update from the MCM Team (January 2025) |
|
|
|
We continue to investigate molecular signatures linked to lung cancer, with a current focus on GCM1, a transcription factor involved in placental development and potentially significant in lung cancer biology. The GCM1 gene encodes a protein with a gcm-motif, playing a central role in DNA-binding and regulating placental-specific genes. While its primary function is in placental biology, emerging evidence suggests GCM1 mutations are implicated in various cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (ADC). |
