International Conference Highlights Versatility Of Zebrafish Research
Jun 22, 2012
It's clear where the black-and-white striped zebrafish got its name, but less obvious at first glance is what zebrafish has to do with biomedical research. Amazingly, it has biological similarities to humans, which are making this small freshwater fish an increasingly popular model organism for studying vertebrate development, genetics, physiology, and mechanisms of disease...

Targeting Androgens In Prostate Cancer
Jun 22, 2012
Prostate cancer cells require androgens including testosterone to grow. A recent review in the British Journal of Urology International describes new classes of drugs that target androgens in novel ways, providing alternatives to the traditional methods that frequently carry high side effects...

Carcinogens Linked To Cancer Stem Cells, But Spinach Can Help
Jun 22, 2012
Researchers at Oregon State University have for the first time traced the actions of a known carcinogen in cooked meat to its complex biological effects on microRNA and cancer stem cells. The findings are part of a growing awareness of the role of epigenetics in cancer, or the ways in which gene expression and cell behavior can be changed even though DNA sequence information is unaltered...

New Prognosis Tool For Deadly Brain Cancer - Glioblastoma Multiforme
Jun 22, 2012
A diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is generally a death sentence, but new research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison lab of Dr. John Kuo shows that at least one subtype is associated with a longer life expectancy. This discovery could help with better patient prognoses and lead to targeted drug treatments for GBM subtypes... Read More
Tissue Stiffness Research By Husband-Wife Research Team Aims To Improve Breast Cancer Exams
Jun 22, 2012
One in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Lorraine G. Olson, professor of mechanical engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, was diagnosed in 2005 at the age of 45... Read More
Biologists Find The Cause Of Pain In The Treatment Of Fair Skin Cancer
Jun 22, 2012
Pain caused by 2 different mechanisms Apply the ointment, light on, light off - that's how easy it is to cure various forms of non-melanoma skin cancer. However, the majority of patients suffer severe pain during the so-called photodynamic therapy. Why the treatment with ointment and red light can be so painful has now been uncovered by researchers from the RUB... Read More

HPV Vaccine Trial Should Never Have Been Run In India, Researchers Say
Jun 22, 2012
Research published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine raises further questions about a trial of HPV vaccines in India. The trial, which has now been halted and is the subject of an investigation by the Indian government, was examining the safety and feasibility of offering a vaccine against the virus associated with cervical cancer...
