A single number helps data scientists find most dangerous cancer cells.

Stanford data scientists have shown that figuring out a single number can help them find the most dangerous cancer cells.

Biomedical data scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have shown that the number of genes a cell uses to make RNA is a reliable indicator of how developed the cell is, a finding that could make it easier to target cancer-causing genes.

Cells that initiate cancer are thought to be stem cells, which are hard-to-find cells that can reproduce themselves and develop, or differentiate, into more specialized tissue, such as skin or muscle—or, when they go bad, into cancer.

Another very positive bit of research. I enjoyed reading the research done and the outcome.
