One Of The Earliest Possible Changes In The Development Of Prostate Cancer Detected By Scientists
Apr 01, 2013
SCIENTISTS at the University of York have discovered the driving force behind the development of prostate cancer. Their research, published in Nature Communications and funded by the charity Yorkshire Cancer Research, reveals the existence of a cancer inducing DNA re-alignment in stem cells taken from human prostate cancers...

DNA-Damaging Toxins Discovered In Common Plant-Based Foods - Liquid Smoke, Black And Green Teas And Coffee
Apr 01, 2013
In a laboratory study pairing food chemistry and cancer biology, scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center tested the potentially harmful effect of foods and flavorings on the DNA of cells. They found that liquid smoke flavoring, black and green teas and coffee activated the highest levels of a well-known, cancer-linked gene called p53... Read More
Mapping Telomerase Is An Important Step Towards Predicting The Risk Of Developing Different Cancers
Apr 01, 2013
In collaboration with an international research team, University of Copenhagen researchers have for the first time mapped telomerase, an enzyme which has a kind of rejuvenating effect on normal cell ageing. The findings have just been published in Nature Genetics and are a step forward in the fight against cancer. Mapping the cellular fountain of youth - telomerase... Read More
Hepatitis Safeguards Needed For HIV Sufferers
Apr 01, 2013
Stronger protections are needed to prevent people with HIV from also becoming infected with hepatitis, researchers argue in a new study led by Michigan State University... Read More
Risk Of Ovarian Cancer Increased By 5 Genetic Variations
Mar 31, 2013
An international research collaboration has found five new regions of the human genome that are linked to increased risks for developing ovarian cancer. Duke Medicine researchers played a leading role analyzing genetic information from more than 40,000 women. The findings are published in four studies, two appearing in the journal Nature Communications and two in /iNature Genetics... Read More
Development Of Different Types Of Ovarian Cancer Driven By Novel Gene
Mar 31, 2013
Researchers at Mayo Clinic Cancer Center have identified a novel gene that can contribute to a woman's susceptibility for developing ovarian cancer. Researchers identified the gene, called HNF1B, through large-scale analysis of more than 16,000 women with ovarian cancer and more than 26,000 healthy women. Results of the study are published in the current issue of the journal Nature Communications... Read More
Focus On Proteins: The First Steps In Protein Folding
Mar 31, 2013
Researchers with the joint program between IRB Barcelona and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) have devised a new strategy to study the shape of proteins. This study has been led by Modesto Orozco, head of the Molecular Modeling and Bioinformatics Group, and Xavier Salvatella, head of the Molecular Biophysics Group, both ICREA scientists at IRB Barcelona...

New Test Could Help Detect Pancreatic Cancer Early
Mar 30, 2013
A new diagnostic test that uses a scientific method called metabolomic analysis could help detect pancreatic cancer early, and therefore, improve the prognosis of patients with the disease. This new screening method is safe and easy, according to new research published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research...

Analysis Of HPV Vaccination Disparities Among Girls From Low-Income Families
Mar 30, 2013
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues at the University of Florida studied health care providers to determine the factors associated with disparities in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among girls, ages 9 to 17, from low-income families. They found that physician vaccination strategies and the type of practice play a role in whether or not girls were vaccinated... Read More
