Darwin's Principles Say Cancer Will Always Evolve To Resist Treatment But Natural Selection May Also Hold Key To Thwarting Drug Resistance
Jun 25, 2012
According to researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center, cancer is subject to the evolutionary processes laid out by Charles Darwin in his concept of natural selection. Natural selection was the process identified by Darwin by which nature selects certain physical attributes, or phenotypes, to pass on to offspring to better "fit" the organism to the environment...

Examining The Biology Of Tumor-Derived Microvesicles
Jun 25, 2012
A new paper by Crislyn D'Souza-Schorey, professor of biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame, discusses the biology of tumor-derived microvesicles and their clinical application as circulating biomarkers. Microvesicles are membrane-bound sacs released by tumor cells and can be detected in the body fluids of cancer patients... Read More

Cancer Cells Stopped, Nerve Cells Regenerated By New Candidate Drug
Jun 25, 2012
Scientists have developed a small-molecule-inhibiting drug that in early laboratory cell tests stopped breast cancer cells from spreading and also promoted the growth of early nerve cells called neurites. Researchers from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center report their findings online in Chemistry & Biology... Read More
Maternal Blood Test Could Predict Risk Of Having Dangerously Small Babies
Jun 25, 2012
Researchers from the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) and the University of Ottawa (uOttawa) have found a protein in the blood of pregnant women that can predict if they are likely to have a fetus that doesn't grow properly, and thus has a high risk of stillbirth and long-term health complications. The research, led by Dr... Read More

Potential New Therapeutic Target For Cancer Drugs
Jun 24, 2012
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have uncovered a new signal transduction pathway specifically devoted to the regulation of alternative RNA splicing, a process that allows a single gene to produce or code multiple types of protein variants. The discovery, published in Molecular Cell, suggests the new pathway might be a fruitful target for new cancer drugs... Read More

Head And Neck Cancer Patients With Chronic Inflammation More Likely To Be HPV Positive
Jun 22, 2012
Researchers have discovered in a study published Online First in JAMA's Archives of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery that patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, who have a history of chronic inflammation, such as periodontitis (gum disease) could be linked to having a higher risk of testing positive for human papillomavirus tumors (HPV)...
