Newly-Discovered Molecular Mechanism Might Explain The Link Between Stem Cells And Cancer
Jul 25, 2012
Stem cells hold great promise for the medicine of the future, but they can also be a cause of disease. When these self-renewing, unspecialized cells fail to differentiate into diverse cell types, they can start dividing uncontrollably, leading to cancer... Read More

Liver Function Micromanaged By MiR-122
Jul 24, 2012
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously encoded RNAs that regulate the stability or translation of mRNA molecules, and emerging research suggests that they have diverse roles in normal physiology and disease. In this issue, two groups investigated the role of the predominant liver miRNA, miR-122... Read More

Cutting Salt Could Reduce Stomach Cancer
Jul 24, 2012
If people in the UK cut the amount of salt they consumed to the recommended daily maximum, it could prevent one in seven cases of stomach cancer, said the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) on Tuesday, after examining the latest figures for diet and cancer incidence. The recommended daily maximum intake of dietary salt is 6.0 g, about the same as in a level teaspoon... Read More
