Weak Magnetic Fields, Cancer Cells And Other Aspects Of Biology
Apr 25, 2012
We are surrounded by a constantly changing magnetic field, be it the Earth's or those emanating from devices, such as cell phones. Carlos Martino, an assistant professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, is interested in understanding how these magnetic-field fluctuations change biochemical reactions inside us. Martino explains that the subject is controversial... Read More
Dramatic Gene Variation Between Patients With The Same Disease Has Implications For Personalized Medicine
Apr 25, 2012
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and other institutions have identified two distinguishable groups of genes: those that produce very abundant biochemical products in the cell and function properly in the majority of biological processes, and a flexible subset that might have abnormal function in a disease...

Common Environmental Contaminant Linked To Rapid Breast Cancer Growth
Apr 25, 2012
Studies by researchers at Dominican University of California show that breast cancer cells become increasingly aggressive the longer they are exposed to small concentrations of cadmium, a heavy metal commonly found in cosmetics, food, water and air particles... Read More
Protein May Be Direct Link That Explains Long-Established Risk Factor Between Alcohol And Breast Cancer
Apr 25, 2012
A research team this week presented findings that they say may finally explain the link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer... Read More
Trastuzumab For Breast Cancer - Weighing The Benefits Versus Heart Risks
Apr 24, 2012
The most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women is breast cancer. There are various types of breast cancers, for instance, HER2-positive cancer in which the tumor's cells produce excess quantities of HER2, a particular protein called the human epidermal growth factor, whilst those with normal production are called HER2-negative...

Discovery Of 'Housekeeping' Mechanism For Brain Stem Cells
Apr 24, 2012
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) have identified a molecular pathway that controls the retention and release of the brain's stem cells. The discovery offers new insights into normal and abnormal neurologic development and could eventually lead to regenerative therapies for neurologic disease and injury. The findings, from a collaborative effort of the laboratories of Drs... Read More
Hispanic Lung Cancer Patients Tend To Live Longer Than Blacks And Whites
Apr 24, 2012
A new analysis has found that Hispanic lung cancer patients seem to live longer than white or black patients. Published early online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study suggests that, as with several other types of cancer, certain yet-to-be-defined genetic and/or environmental factors put Hispanic patients at a survival advantage...

How 'Checkpoint' Proteins Bind Chromosomes
Apr 24, 2012
The development of more effective cancer drugs could be a step nearer thanks to the discovery, by scientists at Warwick Medical School, of how an inbuilt 'security check' operates to guarantee cells divide with the correct number of chromosomes. Most cells in our bodies contain 23 pairs of chromosomes that encode our individual genetic identities... Read More
Cancer Therapies Affect Cognitive Functioning Among Breast Cancer Survivors
Apr 24, 2012
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues at the University of South Florida and University of Kentucky have found that breast cancer survivors who have had chemotherapy, radiation or both do not perform as well on some cognitive tests as women who have not had cancer. They published their study in CANCER... Read More
