Unfolded proteins may protect cells from dying
When cells get stressed, their proteins go unfolded. It's a reaction with a straightforward name: the unfolded protein response. Now, new research from Rockefeller University shows that this phenomenon actually serves a protective role; rather than a sign that the cell has given up, it may be a mechanism by which the cells cope with adversity. view more (2006-12-27)
Caesarean delivery of twins may prevent deaths
Second twins born at term are at higher risk of death due to complications during labour and delivery than first twins, but planned caesarean section may prevent such deaths, concludes a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-10-30)
MRC scientists advance understanding of cell death
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists have made an important advance in understanding the biological processes involved when cells are prompted to die. view more (2009-08-14)
A sticky business -- how cancer cells become more 'gloopy' as they die
The viscosity, or 'gloopiness', of different parts of cancer cells increases dramatically when they are blasted with light-activated cancer drugs, according to new images that provide fundamental insights into how cancer cells die, published in Nature Chemistry today (15 March). view more (2009-03-16)
Who gets cancer treatment, and who completes it?
Cancer treatment is now very effective in many cases, yet not all patients with cancer are referred and not all complete their treatment programme. This has puzzled cancer specialists who have wondered if psychological factors might influence their decision and has led to research carried out by Dr Stan Lindsay from the Institute of Psychiatry in... view more...

UAB Researchers Draft 3-D Protein Map
A new three-dimensional computer protein map is helping researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) unravel the biological pathways that control brain-cell death after a stroke. view more (2009-06-25)
Pancreatic cancer risk decreased by one anti-diabetic therapy, increased by others
The antidiabetic medication metformin is associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer in diabetics, according to a new study in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2009-08-03)
Severely mentally ill have increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease
A large British study indicates that individuals with severe mental illnesses are significantly more likely to die from coronary heart disease and stroke, but not cancer, than those without mental illnesses. view more (2007-02-06)
Scientists discover how cigarette smoke causes cancer: Study points to new treatments, safer tobacco
Everyone has known for decades that that smoking can kill, but until now no one really understood how cigarette smoke causes healthy lung cells to become cancerous. view more (2008-02-28)
Nuclear reactor as a cancer cure
Despite the millions of dollars that have been invested into research to improve methods of treatments for various types of cancer, oncological diseases continue to have a high mortality rate, remaining one of the main causes of death globally. Traditional cancer treatment methods, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy are... view more... (2005-03-03)
Scientists identify a gene that may suppress colorectal cancer
In today's online edition of Genome Research, a husband-and-wife research team from Thomas Jefferson University report the discovery of a gene that, when mutated, may suppress colorectal cancer. view more (2007-03-22)
FATTY FISH CONSUMPTION COULD REDUCE PROSTATE CANCER RISK
Consumption of fatty fish such as salmon, herring, and mackerel could reduce the risk of prostate cancer, report the authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Essential fatty acids - especially omega-3 fatty acids contained in large amounts in fatty fish - have previously proved to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer... view more... (2001-05-31)
DNA test shows promise for identifying patients with colorectal cancer (p 1283)
Testing for DNA changes in stools might provide a new, accurate, and less invasive way to screen patients for colorectal cancer, conclude the authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the industrialised world, and early detection might help to reduce the risk of death... view more... (2004-04-14)
Obesity boosts gullet cancer risk 6-fold
Obese people are six times as likely to develop gullet (oesophageal) cancer as people of 'healthy' weight, shows research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2007-10-11)
Promising Drug Combination May Help Those with Ocular Melanoma that has Spread
A combination of two drugs shows promise in treating a rare and therapy-resistant type of melanoma that originates in the eye and spreads to other organs, according to a new study led by Duke University Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers. view more (2007-09-05)
EU Funding Helps Fight Liver Cancer
The fight against liver cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide, is being helped by 2.5 million euros from the EU's Framework Programme. view more (2005-02-22)
Key protein that may cause cancer cell death identified
Researchers at A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) have become the first to discover and characterize a human protein called Bax-beta (Baxβ), which can potentially cause the death of cancer cells and lead to new approaches in cancer treatment. view more (2009-01-20)
Quantity and frequency of drinking influence mortality risk
How much and how often people drink - not just the average amount of alcohol they consume over time - independently influence the risk of death from several causes, according to a new study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2008-03-05)
Scientists explain how 'death receptors' designed to kill our cells may make them stronger
It turns out that from the perspective of cell biology, Nietzsche may have been right after all: that which does not kill us does make us stronger. view more (2009-06-02)
Media coverage of lung cancer is increasing, and increasingly negative, new report shows
CancerCare today announced that despite an overall increase in news reporting on lung cancer, the overall tone of lung cancer media coverage has become significantly more negative. view more (2008-10-29)
