Studying The Effect Of Stem Cell Therapy On Cancer
Apr 30, 2013
Injection of human stem cells into mice with tumors slowed down tumor growth, finds research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), isolated from bone marrow, caused changes in blood vessels supplying the tumor, and it is this modification of blood supply which seems to impact tumor growth...

Cardio Could Hold Key To Cancer Cure
Apr 30, 2013
Regular exercise has been proven to reduce the chance of developing liver cancer in a world-first mice study that carries hope for patients at risk from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The research announced at the International Liver Congress(TM) 2013 involved two groups of mice fed a control diet and a high fat diet then divided into separate exercise and sedentary groups...

Collaboration Of Researchers In The Physical And Biological Sciences Target Metastatic Cancer
Apr 30, 2013
Cancer cells that can break out of a tumor and invade other organs are more aggressive and nimble than nonmalignant cells, according to a new multi-institutional nationwide study. These cells exert greater force on their environment and can more easily maneuver small spaces... Read More
Challenges Faced By Adolescent And Young Adult Cancer Survivors
Apr 30, 2013
New research out of the George Washington University Cancer Institute (GWCI) focuses on the difficulties of transitioning to adulthood while dealing with the long-term and late effects of cancer and its treatment. The study was recently published in the Journal of Oncology Navigation and Survivorship, titled "Improving Cancer Survivorship for Adolescents and Adults... Read More
Discovery Of New Way Protein Degradation Is Regulated Has Implications For Multiple Myeloma, Muscle Wasting, Neurodegeneration
Apr 30, 2013
Proteins, unlike diamonds, aren't forever. And when they wear out, they need to be degraded in the cell back into amino acids, where they will be recycled into new proteins... Read More
New Scoring System Defines Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Who Achieve Most Benefit From TACE
Apr 30, 2013
Data from a number of clinical trials presented at the International Liver Congress™ 2013 shed new light on the use of TACE and SIRT in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)... Read More
Teen Pregnancy Linked To 50% Drop In Breast Cancer Risk
Apr 30, 2013
A teen or early pregnancy have been linked to a drop in the risk of breast cancer by 50%, a new study published in BioMed Central's Breast Cancer Research finds. Researchers found that the Wnt/Notch signalling ratio was reduced in the breast tissue of mice that gave birth, compared to virgin mice among the same age group... Read More
Student Researchers Get A New View Of The Dynamics Of Cancer Cells As They Metastasize
Apr 30, 2013
A team of student researchers and their professors from 20 laboratories around the country have gotten a new view of cancer cells. The work could shed light on the transforming physical properties of these cells as they metastasize, said Jack R. Staunton, a Ph.D. candidate at Arizona State University in the lab of Prof. Robert Ros, and the lead author of a paper reporting on the topic... Read More
New Oral Anticoagulant Drugs: A Guide From European Society Of Cardiology
Apr 30, 2013
A practical guide on the use of the new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) has been produced by the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). A guide was needed to summarise existing information on different drugs, to answer clinical questions that fall outside what drug companies can legally answer, and to make distinctions between the different drugs...
