(Weizmann Institute of Science) In two complementary studies, Weizmann Institute scientists have developed a new method for reconstructing a cell's 'family tree,' and have applied this technique to trace the history of the development of cancer.

So far, the scientists have been able to calculate the age of the tumor and characterize its growth pattern.

The scientists believe cell lineage studies of cancer can eventually lead us to the root of cancer.
