Research Scientists Illuminate Cancer Cells' Survival Strategy During Dangerous Dissemination
Jan 31, 2012
A team led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute has discovered key elements of a strategy commonly used by tumor cells to survive when they spread to distant organs. The finding could lead to drugs that could inhibit this metastasis in patients with tumors... Read More
Immunological Mechanisms Of Oncolytic Adenoviral Therapy
Jan 31, 2012
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in humans. The conventional cancer therapies include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeting therapies, which are intended to directly destroy and eliminate tumor cells. These treatments often fail, resulting in tumor metastasis and recurrence. Therefore, there is a critical need for novel cancer therapies... Read More
New Drug Release Mechanism Developed That Utilizes 3D Superhydrophobic Materials
Jan 31, 2012
According to a recent study, there is a new mechanism of drug release using 3D superhydrophobic materials that utilizes air as a removable barrier to control the rate at which drug is released. The study was electronically published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society... Read More

Stress-Induced Genomic Instability Facilitates Rapid Cellular Adaption In Yeast
Jan 30, 2012
Cells trying to keep pace with constantly changing environmental conditions need to strike a fine balance between maintaining their genomic integrity and allowing enough genetic flexibility to adapt to inhospitable conditions... Read More
Mutations Tied To Aggressive Childhood Brain Tumors Revealed By Cancer Sequencing Initiative
Jan 30, 2012
Researchers studying a rare, lethal childhood tumor of the brainstem discovered that nearly 80 percent of the tumors have mutations in genes not previously tied to cancer. Early evidence suggests the alterations play a unique role in other aggressive pediatric brain tumors as well. The findings from the St... Read More
New Vaccine Approach Discovered For The Treatment Of Cancer
Jan 30, 2012
Scientists in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, have developed a new vaccine to treat cancer at the pre-clinical level. The research team led by Professor Kingston Mills, Professor of Experimental Immunology at Trinity College Dublin discovered a new approach for treating the disease based on manipulating the immune response to malignant tumours...

Leukemia Cells Are "Bad To The Bone"
Jan 30, 2012
University of Rochester Medical Center researchers have discovered new links between leukemia cells and cells involved in bone formation, offering a fresh perspective on how the blood cancer progresses and raising the possibility that therapies for bone disorders could help in the treatment of leukemia. The research, led by graduate student Benjamin J. Frisch in the James P... Read More
Increased Risk For Transplant Patients Who Develop Head & Neck Cancer
Jan 30, 2012
Transplant patients who develop head and neck cancer are more likely to be non-smokers and non-drinkers, and less likely than their non-transplant counterparts to survive past one year of diagnosis, according to a new study from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit... Read More
