Levels Of Certain Small Molecules In The Blood Altered By Radiation Exposure, Offering A Possible Measure Of Damage To The Body
Feb 27, 2013
Ohio State University cancer researchers have identified molecules in the bloodstream that might accurately gauge the likelihood of radiation illness after exposure to ionizing radiation. The animal study, led by researchers at The Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J... Read More
Cancer Hijacks Cell Scaffolding Protein Fascin-1
Feb 27, 2013
A protein involved in the internal cell scaffold is associated with increased risk of metastasis and mortality in a range of common cancers finds a meta-analysis published in Biomed Central's open access journal BMC Medicine. The protein, fascin-1, is involved in bundling together the actin filaments which form the internal scaffolding of a cell and are involved in cell movement... Read More
Bone-Marrow Environment Identified That Helps Fight Infection
Feb 27, 2013
The Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern has deepened the understanding of the environment within bone marrow that nurtures stem cells, this time identifying the biological setting for specialized blood-forming cells that produce the infection-fighting white blood cells known as T cells and B cells...

Virus That Kills Prostate Cancer Cells Shows Treatment Potential
Feb 26, 2013
A modified Newcastle disease virus that targets and kills all types of prostate cancer cells and leaves normal cells untouched shows promise as a cancer treatment that avoids the side effects which normally accompany hormonal treatment and chemotherapies, says a team of veterinary scientists in the US...

Discovery Of General Mechanism That Accelerates Tumor Development
Feb 26, 2013
Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell division and growth. In order to identify new therapeutic targets through which to tackle the disease, scientists seek to clarify the mechanisms that control the expression of genes that favor the development of tumors, in processes such as uncontrolled cell division...
