The main cause of cyanide poisoning is smoke inhalation in closed spaces during fires. Cyanides, the salts of hydrocyanic acid, inhibit cellular respiration and may lead to coma or death. The rapid administration of a cyanide antidote is essential for successful treatment... Read More
New Study Shows Promise In Using RNA Nanotechnology To Treat Cancers And Viral Infections
Sep 06, 2012
A new study by University of Kentucky researchers shows promise for developing ultrastable RNA nanoparticles that may help treat cancer and viral infections by regulating cell function and binding to cancers without harming surrounding tissue. The study, published in Nano Today, was carried out in the laboratory of Peixuan Guo, the William S... Read More
Potential Drug For Deadly Brain Cancer Glioblastoma Multiforme Discovered
Sep 06, 2012
A*STAR scientists have identified a biomarker of the most lethal form of brain tumours in adults - glioblastoma multiforme. The scientists found that by targeting this biomarker and depleting it with a potential drug, they were able to prevent the progression and relapse of the brain tumour... Read More
New Gene Variants Raise Risk Of Neuroblastoma, Influence Tumor Progression
Sep 06, 2012
Researchers have discovered two gene variants that raise the risk of the pediatric cancer neuroblastoma. Using automated technology to perform genome-wide association studies on DNA from thousands of subjects, the study broadens understanding of how gene changes may make a child susceptible to this early childhood cancer, as well as causing a tumor to progress...

Rate Of Women With Pregnancy-Associated Cancer On The Increase
Sep 06, 2012
The rate of pregnancy-associated cancer is increasing and is only partially explained by the rise in older mothers suggests new research published today (5 September) in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. A large Australian study looked at 781,907 women who gave birth in New South Wales (NSW) between 1994 and 2008 which corresponds to 1,309,501 maternities... Read More
Experts Propose 'Cyber War' On Cancer
Sep 06, 2012
In the face of mounting evidence that cancer cells communicate, cooperate and even engage in collective decision-making, biophysicists and cancer researchers at Rice University, Tel Aviv University and Johns Hopkins University are suggesting a new strategy for outsmarting cancer through its own social intelligence...
