High-Risk Human Papilloma Virus Found With Epstein Barr Virus In Prostate Cancer
Aug 01, 2012
Two common viruses known to be associated with human cancers are both present - and may even be collaborating with each other - in most male prostate cancers, a new study suggests. The research involved examination of 100 specimens of normal, malignant and benign prostate samples from Australian men... Read More
Mathematical Model Resolves Decade-Old Debate On Regulation Of Protein Production By MicroRNAs In Cells
Aug 01, 2012
An international team of mathematicians has proposed a new solution to understanding a biological puzzle that has confounded molecular biologists. They have applied a mathematical model to work out the functioning of small molecules known as microRNAs - components of the body akin to the electronics in modern airplanes... Read More
Drugs Identified By Computational Analysis For The Treatment Of Drug-Resistant Breast Cancer
Aug 01, 2012
Researchers have used computational analysis to identify a new Achilles heel for the treatment of drug-resistant breast cancer. The results, which are published in Molecular Systems Biology, reveal that the disruption of glucose metabolism is an effective therapeutic strategy for the treatment of tumours that have acquired resistance to front-line cancer drugs such as Lapatinib...

Not Doing The PSA Test May Result In Many Men Presenting With Far More Advanced Prostate Cancer
Aug 01, 2012
Eliminating the PSA test to screen for prostate cancer would be taking a big step backwards and would likely result in rising numbers of men with metastatic cancer at the time of diagnosis, predicted a University of Rochester Medical Center analysis published in the journal, Cancer... Read More

Photoacoustics For Detecting Cancer May Have Limited Use
Aug 01, 2012
One person dies every hour from melanoma skin cancer in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. A technique, known as photoacoustics, can find some forms of melanoma even if only a few cancerous cells exist, but a recent study by MU researchers found that the technique was limited in its ability to identify other types of cancer...

New Therapeutic Approaches Suggested By Insight Into Mechanism Of Lung Cancer-Associated Mutations
Aug 01, 2012
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers have identified how one of the genes most commonly mutated in lung cancer may promote such tumors... Read More
Cancer Research May Benefit From Recent Protein Discovery
Jul 31, 2012
A paper published in the online edition of Current Biology reports that a graduate student from Simon Fraser University and her thesis supervisor discovered how a certain protein type controls the growth of another protein. The discovery could contribute to research in the fight against cancer... Read More
