Genetic determinants of aggressive breast cancer
Article Abstract:
The article explains biomarker, genetic marker and the genetic determinants of the most aggressive form of breast cancer, namely inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The overexpression, mutation and the deletion of some specific genes in human body are found to be the main factors leading to the development of the disease.

A role for JAK2 mutations in myeloproliferative diseases
Article Abstract:
The article discusses significance of the application of the JAK2 inhibitor in the treatment of the myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs). JAK2 is found to highly reduce the growth of JAK2V617F mutations, which is found to be the factor behind the development of MPDs in most of the patients.
