Malignancy And Resistance Of Breast Cancer Cells Controlled By MicroRNA
May 08, 2012
Many breast cancer patients are treated with a drug called tamoxifen. The substance blocks the effect of estrogen and thus suppresses the growth signals of this hormone in cancer cells. When resistance to the drug develops, tumor cells change their growth program: They change their behavior and shape, become more mobile and also adopt the ability to invade surrounding tissue...

Curry Ingredient May Have Cancer Treatment Benefits
May 07, 2012
New evidence, studied by researchers in the Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine, at the University of Leicester, reveals that curcumin, found in the curry ingredient turmeric, may significantly reduce side effects for bowel cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and help them to be able to go through treatment longer...

Prostate Cancer Stem Cells Identified Among Low-PSA Cells
May 07, 2012
Prostate cancer cells that defy treatment and display heightened tumor-generating capacity can be identified by levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) expressed in the tumor cells, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reports in Cell Stem Cell...

Scientists Aim To Starve Lung Tumours
May 07, 2012
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death throughout the world. Standard treatment methods do not usually result in long-term recovery. In addition to the proliferation of the tumour cells, the growth of blood vessels controls tumors development. The blood vessel growth is controlled by several signalling molecules... Read More
SPECT/CT Improves Staging And Risk Stratification Of Thyroid Cancer
May 07, 2012
The use of single positron emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) has been reported to change clinical management in a significant number of thyroid cancer patients according to research presented in the May issue of /iThe Journal of Nuclear Medicine... Read More
Preventing The Passing Of Mitochondrial Mutations From Mother To Child
May 07, 2012
Research conducted at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University helps answer some long-standing questions about how certain disease-causing gene mutations are inherited. The research specifically focused on gene mutations in cell mitochondria that can cause several diseases, including forms of cancer, diabetes, infertility and neurodegenerative diseases... Read More
Researchers Describe New Functions Of Cohesin Relevant For Human Disease
May 07, 2012
Cohesin is a ring-shaped protein complex involved in the spatial organization of the genome and in mitotic chromosome structure. Vertebrate somatic cells have two versions of cohesin that contain either SA1 or SA2, but their functional specificity has been largely ignored... Read More
Presence Of Fetal Cells In Women Lowers Risk Of Breast Cancer But Raises Risk Of Colon Cancer
May 07, 2012
For the first time, scientists have found what could be a causative link between the concentration of circulating Y-chromosome fetal cells in women who gave birth to children of either sex and their risk of later developing breast cancer and colon cancer... Read More
