Cancer is a stem cell issue
There is an urgent reason to study stem cells: stem cells are at the heart of some, if not all, cancers.   view more (2007-02-20)

Tracing agent, ultrasound combo helps test cancer therapy's effectiveness
An inexpensive tracing agent used in combination with ultrasound can pinpoint how effectively drugs targeting pancreatic cancer work, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have demonstrated for the first time.   view more (2007-01-10)

First report of cancer drug Gleevec as new target therapy for pulmonary hypertension
Gleevec (Imatinib) is a representative of the newest generation of cancer drugs. The substance conveys its potent anti-proliferative effect by selectively supressing the tyrosine kinase pathway.   view more (2005-09-30)

New possibilities for breast cancer treatment on the horizon
he first patient scans from a custom-built scanner combining positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) technologies indicate that these scans could significantly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities and lead to more targeted treatment options, according to researchers at... view more (2008-06-17)

To evade chemotherapy, some cancer cells mimic stem cells
Anti-cancer treatments often effectively shrink the size of tumors, but some might have an opposite effect, actually expanding the small population of cancer stem cells believed to drive the disease, according to findings presented today in Atlanta, Georgia at the American Association for Cancer... view more (2007-09-20)

Thyroid cancer discovery points to new treatments, prevention
The actions of a mutated protein in cells linked to thyroid cancer have been uncovered by researchers at Queen's University.   view more (2006-11-16)

Landfills, chemical weapon debris possibly a good match, computer model suggests
Putting building debris contaminated by chemical weapons into municipal landfills likely would pose only a minimal risk to nearby communities and the surrounding environment, according to a study scheduled for publication in the July 1 issue of the American Chemical Society journal Environmental... view more (2006-06-28)

Increased ovarian cancer risk not found in women with breast cancer family history
Women with a strong family history of breast cancer but who don't have breast cancer genetic mutations can now be reassured that they are not at increased risk for ovarian cancer.   view more (2005-09-21)

Why don't all moles progress to melanoma?
Everyone has moles. Most of the time, they are nothing but a cosmetic nuisance. But sometimes pigment-producing cells in moles called melanocytes start dividing abnormally to form a deadly form of skin cancer called melanoma.   view more (2006-10-03)

Cells in mucus from lungs of high-risk patients can predict tumor development
n a group of high-risk patients, a test that examined DNA from cells expelled in sputum for evidence of "silenced" genes correctly identified the majority of patients who were later diagnosed with lung cancer.   view more (2006-03-15)

U of M researchers discover compounds to shrink tumors
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed novel anti-cancer drugs to treat solid tumors. These "small molecules" belong to a class of pharmaceutical agents called anti-angiogenics.   view more (2006-07-06)

Researchers study new drug and indications for heated chemotherapy treatment
Studies have shown that surgery combined with Intraperitoneal Hyperthermic Chemotherapy (IPHC) can improve survival rates for select patients with peritoneal carcinoma (cancer of the lining of the abdominal cavity) that has spread from colorectal or appendix cancer.   view more (2008-03-17)

New study of targeted therapies for breast cancer -- model for global clinical trials
Two targeted medications designed to treat an aggressive form of breast cancer are being tested in a new study involving 8,000 participants in 50 countries across six continents -- a clinical trial that investigators hope will provide a new model for global cancer research.   view more (2008-02-29)

Towards rational vaccine design
A recent study published in Immunology Letters, the official journal of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), describes strategies for selective priming of B cells using various adjuvants.   view more (2007-04-25)

EU-funded project to grow first artificial society
A EUR1.55 million project funded by the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme to grow the first society based on artificial, computer-based beings, much like characters in popular computer games such as SIMS, was officially launched on Wednesday during the AISB2005 convention at the University... view more (2005-04-14)

Cancer research summaries
Individuals who receive blood transfusions from donors with undiagnosed cancers are at no higher risk of developing malignant disease than people who receive blood from donors without cancer, according to the results of a retrospective study published in The Lancet last month.   view more (2007-07-23)

Truly sick or simply scared?
Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a way to increase the sensitivity of test strips that will enable creation of a portable biosensor that can address a major concern associated with incidents involving chemical or nerve agents - the need to quickly distinguish... view more (2007-08-20)

Cell cultures can sort out Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD) and scrapie infectious agents
Research in Japan and at Yale University School of Medicine shows that infection with a weak strain of Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD) prevents infection by more virulent strains and that the protection requires persistent replication by the infectious agent, but not misfolded prions.   view more (2005-10-21)

The web needs to get personal
In the 1990s, we dubbed the Internet the `information superhighway`. So why is it still so hard to find what we are looking for online? According to Prof. Wendy Hall of the University of Southampton, it is because the web is mostly linkless. What`s more, if we want the Web to be useful in our daily... view more (2002-01-05)

UC Davis researchers identify a cellular pathway that makes prostate cancer fatal
Expanding evidence that tiny strands of RNA - called microRNAs - play big roles in the progress of some cancers, UC Davis researchers have identified one that helps jump start prostate cancer cell growth midway through the disease process, eventually causing it to become fatal.   view more (2007-11-28)

Tobacco industry failed to keep its promises to the public
The tobacco industry failed to keep its promises to inform the public of the health effects of smoking, even though its own scientists doubted the safety of cigarettes, shows a study in a special supplement to Tobacco Control.   view more (2002-03-07)
