Brain Cancer Blood Vessels Not Substantially Tumor-Derived
Mar 12, 2012
Johns Hopkins scientists have published laboratory data refuting studies that suggest blood vessels that form within brain cancers are largely made up of cancer cells. The theory of cancer-based blood vessels calls into question the use and value of anticancer drugs that target these blood vessels, including bevacizumab (Avastin)... Read More
Scientists Uncover New Throat Cancer Gene
Mar 12, 2012
Researchers at King's College London and Hiroshima University, Japan, have identified a specific gene linked to throat cancer following a genetic study of a family with 10 members who have developed the condition... Read More
When Cancer Therapy Drugs Get Under Your Skin
Mar 11, 2012
Skin problems are the most common adverse effects from new anti-cancer drugs. Ralf Gutzmer, from the Hannover Medical School (MHH), and co-authors now summarize the current state of knowledge in the recent edition of Deutsches Aerzteblatt International (Dtsch Arztebl Int 2012; 109(8): 133-40). Adverse effects of the skin include rashes, nail problems, and the hand-foot syndrome... Read More

Insight Into Human Stem Cell Development And Cancer Provided By Drosophila Research
Mar 11, 2012
Stem cells provide a recurring topic among the scientific presentations at the Genetics Society of America's 53rd Annual Drosophila Research Conference, March 7-11 at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers. Specifically, researchers are trying to determine how, within organs, cells specialize while stem cells maintain tissues and enable them to repair damage and respond to stress or aging... Read More
A TRP That Makes Our Cells Feel Hyper
Mar 11, 2012
A large change in the volume of a cell, from its basal level, is detrimental to its health. Therefore, our cells are equipped with mechanisms to maintain their constant volume. When a cell detects an environmental change that will alter its volume, due to changes in the osmotic pressure, it will adjust its internal water content to counter these influences... Read More
Researchers Develop Powerful Tool To Measure Metabolites In Living Cells
Mar 11, 2012
By engineering cells to express a modified RNA called "Spinach," researchers have imaged small-molecule metabolites in living cells and observed how their levels change over time. Metabolites are the products of individual cell metabolism... Read More
