Researchers Identify PHF20, A Regulator Of Gene P53, Critical For Normal Cell Growth And Tumor Suppression
Aug 27, 2012
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues have identified PHF20, a novel transcriptional factor, and clarified its role in maintaining the stability and transcription of p53, a gene that allows for both normal cell growth and tumor suppression. PHF20, the researchers found, plays a previously unknown and unique role in regulating p53... Read More

Chemists Determine 1 Way Tumors Meet Their Growing Needs
Aug 27, 2012
Behaving something like ravenous monsters, tumors need plentiful supplies of cellular building blocks such as amino acids and nucleotides in order to keep growing at a rapid pace and survive under harsh conditions. How such tumors meet these burgeoning demands has not been fully understood... Read More

Scientists In Germany Study Cancer Survival After The Fall Of The Iron Curtain
Aug 26, 2012
Data from the 1970s and 1980s show that people affected by cancer survived significantly longer in West Germany than cancer patients behind the Iron Curtain... Read More
Why Humans May Be More Susceptible To Cancer And Other Diseases
Aug 26, 2012
Chimpanzees rarely get cancer, or a variety of other diseases that commonly arise in humans, but their genomic DNA sequence is nearly identical to ours. So, what's their secret? Researchers reporting in the September issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics, a Cell Press journal, have found that differences in certain DNA modifications, called methylation, might play a role...

Cancer Prevention, Treatment By Targeting Inflammation
Aug 25, 2012
Researchers at the Georgia Health Sciences University Cancer Center have identified a gene that disrupts the inflammatory process implicated in liver cancer. Laboratory mice bred without the gene lacked a pro-inflammatory protein called TREM-1 and protected them from developing liver cancer after exposure to carcinogens... Read More
