New Man-Made Pores Could Be The Future For Water Purification, Tumor Destruction, Treatments For Disease
Jul 19, 2012
Inspired by nature, an international research team has created synthetic pores that mimic the activity of cellular ion channels, which play a vital role in human health by severely restricting the types of materials allowed to enter cells. The pores the scientists built are permeable to potassium ions and water, but not to other ions such as sodium and lithium ions... Read More
Discovery Of New Way To Induce Programmed Cell Death Could Lead To Potential Cancer Therapies
Jul 19, 2012
Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Weizmann Institute of Science have developed a technique to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, that could lead to new approaches to treating cancer. Apoptosis is an essential defense mechanism against the spread of abnormal cells such as cancer... Read More

Mammography Screening Shows Limited Effect On Breast Cancer Mortality In Sweden
Jul 19, 2012
Breast cancer mortality statistics in Sweden are consistent with studies that have reported that screening has limited or no impact on breast cancer mortality among women aged 40-69, according to a study published July 17 in the Journal of The National Cancer Institute... Read More

Risk For Breast Cancer Increased By Giving Birth To Large Infants
Jul 18, 2012
Delivering a high-birth-weight infant more than doubles a woman's breast cancer risk, according to research from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. The researchers suggest that having a large infant is associated with a hormonal environment during pregnancy that favors future breast cancer development and progression... Read More

Liver Cancer Risk May Be Reduced By Vitamin E
Jul 18, 2012
High consumption of vitamin E either from diet or vitamin supplements may lower the risk of liver cancer, according to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Liver cancer is the third most common cause of cancer mortality in the world, the fifth most common cancer found in men and the seventh most common in women... Read More
Preventing Cancer Metastasis To Bone: Could It Be Something As Simple As A Beta Blocker?
Jul 18, 2012
Stress can promote breast cancer cell colonization of bone, Vanderbilt Center for Bone Biology investigators have discovered. The studies, reported in PLoS Biology, demonstrate in mice that activation of the sympathetic nervous system - the "fight-or-flight" response to stress - primes the bone environment for breast cancer cell metastasis...
