    on November 9, 2026 at 2:40 pm

    University of California, Riverside, scientists have an explanation for why males and females respond differently to obesity.

    Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UK) have proposed an explanation for why some childhood tumors spread aggressively around the body despite having relatively few genetic faults. For years, experts believed cancers become more dangerous by accumulating genetic mutations that allow them to invade new tissues and evade treatment. But a new paper shows how childhood cancers may not always need extra mutations to spread.
