Researchers Urge More Patient-Centered Care For African-American Breast Cancer Survivors
May 02, 2012
African-American breast cancer survivors were satisfied with their cancer treatment, but most were never offered clinical trials opportunities or support services during or after their treatment, according to a study by a UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center researcher and her community partner, Rev. Tammie Dynse... Read More
Scientists Use Fruit Flies To Reveal Unknown Function Of A Transcriptional Regulator Of Development And Cancer
May 02, 2012
Historically, fly and human Polycomb proteins were considered textbook exemplars of transcriptional repressors, or proteins that silence the process by which DNA gives rise to new proteins. Now, work by a team of researchers at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research challenges that dogma... Read More
Lymphoma Therapy Could Deliver A Double Punch
May 02, 2012
B cell lymphomas are a group of cancers of that originate in lymphoid tissue from B cells, the specialized immune cell type that produces antibodies. The development of B cell lymphoma is associated with several known genetic changes, including increased expression of MYC, a transcription factor that promotes cell growth and division... Read More

Research led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators suggests that safeguarding cell survival and maintaining a balanced immune system is just the start of the myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (MCL1) protein's work... Read More
Gene Involved In Fanconi Anemia
May 02, 2012
Scientists of KIT and the University of Birmingham have identified relevant new functions of a gene that plays a crucial role in Fanconi anemia, a life-threatening disease. The FANCM gene is known to be important for the stability of the genome. Now, the researchers found that FANCM also plays a key role in the recombination of genetic information during inheritance...

Genetic Mutations Linked To Childhood Kidney Cancer
May 01, 2012
According to a study published in Nature Genetics, an international team of researchers have identified mutations in two regions of the genome that increase the risk of developing Wilms tumor. Wilms tumor is the most prevalent type of kidney cancer in children and usually develops before the age of five. The disease affects around 1 in 10,000 children and has a 90% cure rate... Read More
