Leukemia Patients 16 To 39 Have Higher Long-Term Survival Rates With Pediatric Regime Of Chemotherapy
Jun 20, 2012
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), usually found in pediatric patients, is far more rare and deadly in adolescent and adult patients. According to the National Marrow Donor Program, child ALL patients have a higher than 80 percent remission rate, while the recovery rate for adults stands at only 40 percent... Read More
How The Key Enzyme Involved In Aging, Cancer Assembles
Jun 20, 2012
UCLA biochemists have mapped the structure of a key protein-RNA complex that is required for the assembly of telomerase, an enzyme important in both cancer and aging. The researchers found that a region at the end of the p65 protein that includes a flexible tail is responsible for bending telomerase's RNA backbone in order to create a scaffold for the assembly of other protein building blocks...

Abnormal Gene Product Associated With Prostate Cancer Generated By Unusual Mechanism
Jun 19, 2012
Researchers have identified a potential new pathway in prostate cancer cells by which cancer-driving gene products can be generated, according to a study published in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. "Our work shows that cancers have many more tricks than we thought to generate potential cancer-driving genes or gene products," said Hui Li, Ph.D... Read More
