May 24, 2013
Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have made an advance in breast cancer research which shows how some enzymes released by cancerous cells could have a protective function... Read More
Inexpensive, Accurate Way To Detect Prostate Cancer Could Facilitate Commercially Available, At-Home Urine Tests
May 24, 2013
Early screening for prostate cancer could become as easy for men as personal pregnancy testing is for women, thanks to UC Irvine research published in the /iJournal of the American Chemical Society... Read More
New Mouse Model Helping To Keep Stem Cells Strong
May 24, 2013
When infections occur in the body, stem cells in the blood often jump into action by multiplying and differentiating into mature immune cells that can fight off illness. But repeated infections and inflammation can deplete these cell populations, potentially leading to the development of serious blood conditions such as cancer... Read More
Radioactive Nanoparticles Developed That Target Cancer Cells
May 24, 2013
Cancers of all types become most deadly when they metastasize and spread tumors throughout the body. Once cancer has reached this stage, it becomes very difficult for doctors to locate and treat the numerous tumors that can develop. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have found a way to create radioactive nanoparticles that target lymphoma tumor cells wherever they may be in the body... Read More
Promising Early Results For Use Of Poliovirus Vaccine In Recurrent Glioblastoma
May 24, 2013
An attack on glioblastoma brain tumor cells that uses a modified poliovirus is showing encouraging results in an early study to establish the proper dose level, researchers at Duke Cancer Institute report... Read More
Superiority Of Bivalirudin Over Heparin Questioned
May 24, 2013
Results from a large observational study reported at EuroPCR 2013 question whether bivalirudin is superior to heparin in the absence of GPIIb/IIIa blockade, showing similar 30-day mortality in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)...

Frequent Heartburn Increases Risk Of Throat Cancer By 78%
May 24, 2013
Frequent heartburn increases the risk of cancers of the throat and vocal cord among nondrinkers and nonsmokers, according to a new study. The research, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, also indicated that the use of antacids has a protective effect against these cancers, while prescription medications do not...

New Tumour Killer Developed By Scientists
May 24, 2013
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Lund University, Sweden, have bioengineered a novel molecule which has been proven to successfully kill tumour cells. This molecule is based on a natural protein present in human breast milk, which has been found to have strong and wide-ranging tumour killing properties when bound to certain lipids... Read More
Study Clarifies Roles Of Anti-Angiogenic Proteins In Discouraging Metastasis And Reveals Potential Anti-Metastasis Drug
May 24, 2013
By studying the roles two proteins, thrombospondin-1 and prosaposin, play in discouraging cancer metastasis, a trans-Atlantic research team has identified a five-amino acid fragment of prosaposin that significantly reduces metastatic spread in mouse models of prostate, breast and lung cancer...

Fighting Ovarian Cancer With Gold Nanoparticles
May 23, 2013
Positively charged gold nanoparticles are usually toxic to cells, but cancer cells somehow manage to avoid nanoparticle toxicity. Mayo Clinic researchers found out why and determined how to make the nanoparticles effective against ovarian cancer cells. The discovery is detailed in the current online issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry... Read More
