Drosophila Model Created To Study How A Normal Cell Turns Cancerous
Dec 03, 2012
The wing of a fruit fly may hold the key to unraveling the genetic and molecular events that transform a normal cell into a cancerous one. The study, conducted on Drosophila melanogaster by scientists at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and led by ICREA researcher Marco Milan, has reproduced each of the steps known to take place when a healthy cell turns cancerous...

New Detection Method Can Identify Genetic Switches Lost And Gained During Development Of Breast Cancer, Resulting In Earlier Diagnosis
Dec 03, 2012
Physicians may now be better at detecting breast cancer than ever before, but much more work remains to ensure accurate diagnosis is possible and especially to assess future risk. That's why researchers from Germany have been working to develop a new test of gene action to predict cancer risk both at first diagnosis and into the future... Read More
Promising New Technique For Creating Stem Cells Using A Routine Blood Sample
Dec 03, 2012
Scientists - funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), Medical Research Council (MRC) and Wellcome Trust - have published a patient-friendly and efficient way to make stem cells out of blood, increasing the hope that scientists could one day use stem cells made from patients' own cells to treat cardiovascular disease (1)...

The Mechanisms Of Drug Resistance To Dual-Agent Chemotherapy In Ovarian Cancer
Dec 03, 2012
More than half of all patients with ovarian cancer experience recurrent disease and will eventually fail to respond to chemotherapy. The failure of chemotherapy is usually due to the development of resistance to the two main classes of chemotherapy agents used to fight it - platinating agents and taxanes... Read More
Mistletoe Found To Be Effective At Treating Colon Cancer
Dec 02, 2012
New research reveals that mistletoe could act as possible therapy for those with colon cancer. Scientists from the University of Adelaide have found that the Christmas plant has properties that can be effective at killing the cancer cells and could potentially become a possible alternative to chemotherapy...

JQ1 Can Reactivate Latent HIV And Potently Suppress Inflammation, Making It Effective Against HIV And Other Inflammatory Conditions
Dec 02, 2012
Breakthrough drugs have made it possible for people to live with HIV longer than ever before, but more work must be done to actually cure the disease. One of the challenges researchers face involves fully eradicating the virus when it is latent in the body... Read More
Scientists Create Roadmap To Metabolic Reprogramming For Aging
Dec 02, 2012
In efforts to understand what influences life span, cancer and aging, scientists are building roadmaps to navigate and learn about cells at the molecular level... Read More
The Debate About Cancer Metastasis: Study Helps Resolve The Dilemma
Dec 02, 2012
A team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, has shown for the first time how cancer cells control the ON/OFF switch of a program used by developing embryos to effectively metastasize in vivo, breaking free and spreading to other parts of the body, where they can proliferate and grow into secondary tumors...

Aspirin Tied To Lower Risk For Liver Cancer And Death From Liver Disease
Dec 01, 2012
A new study from the US finds that use of aspirin is tied to a reduced risk for hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of primary liver cancer, and also to a reduced risk of death from chronic liver disease. Vikrant V... Read More
