Scientists Build A Synthetic Peptide That Overcomes Cancer Cells' Survival Defenses
May 31, 2012
Scientists at the Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center have developed an anti-cancer peptide that overcomes the stubborn resistance to chemotherapy and radiation often encountered in certain blood cancers when the disease recurs following initial treatment... Read More
Clue To Hepatitis B Virus Genetic Code Provided By 16th-Century Korean Mummy
May 31, 2012
The discovery of a mummified Korean child with relatively preserved organs enabled an Israeli-South Korean scientific team to conduct a genetic analysis on a liver biopsy which revealed a unique hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype C2 sequence common in Southeast Asia... Read More

Exposure To The Common Pollutant Naphthalene May Lead To Chromosomal Damage In Children
May 31, 2012
According to a new study, children exposed to high levels of the common air pollutant naphthalene are at increased risk for chromosomal aberrations (CAs), which have been previously associated with cancer. These include chromosomal translocations, a potentially more harmful and long-lasting subtype of CAs... Read More

MabThera Confirmed As Beneficial For Treating Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
May 30, 2012
The European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has concluded, after conducting a quality review of the genetically engineered monoclonal antibody MabThera, that the batches of rituximab, the active substance of MabThera, that were produced in the U.S. at the Vacaville manufacturing site do not present a risk to public health...

Anti-Psychotic Drug For Schizophrenia May Eliminate Cancer Stem Cells
May 30, 2012
Scientists have discovered that an anti-psychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia seems to eliminate cancer stem cells by helping them change into less threatening cell types. The finding, published in the journal Cell Press, was made after screening hundreds of compounds in search of those that would selectively inhibit human cancer stem cells... Read More

Huge Childhood Cancer DNA Catalogue Released
May 30, 2012
By releasing a huge catalogue of complete DNA data on childhood cancers to the global scientific community, a team at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, in the US, hopes to speed up progress in finding causes and new treatments for cancer and other diseases. The catalogue contains whole genome sequences, essentially complete DNA maps, from 260 child cancer patients... Read More
