Med school discovery could lead to better cancer diagnosis, drugs
A Florida State University College of Medicine research team led by Yanchang Wang has discovered an important new layer of regulation in the cell division cycle, which could lead to a greater understanding of the way cancer begins. view more (2008-11-24)
No cell walls, no new cancer cells
Cancer cells, like houses, need building materials for their walls. And as with a house, the cell wall needs to be built at just the right moment to protect and allow the construction of internal components. view more (2006-08-02)
Rewind, please: Nature paper shows that cell division is reversible
Gary J. Gorbsky, Ph.D., a scientist with the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, has found a way to reverse the process of cell division. view more (2006-04-13)
How nature tinkers with the cellular clock
The life of a cell is all about growing and dividing at the right time. That is why the cell cycle is one of the most tightly regulated cellular processes. view more (2006-09-28)
Novel connection found between biological clock and cancer
Dartmouth Medical School geneticists have discovered that DNA damage resets the cellular circadian clock, suggesting links among circadian timing, the cycle of cell division, and the propensity for cancer. view more (2006-06-30)
New role for gene that counteracts formation of tumors
The researchers, connected to Ghent University, have discovered the function of an important mediator involved in suppressing the development of tumors. view more (2005-08-26)
Promising novel treatment for human cancer -- Chrysanthemum indicum extract
A series of studies have demonstrated that Chrysanthemum indicum possesses antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective effects. view more (2009-10-16)
Trainor Lab characterizes gene essential for prenatal development of nervous system
The Stowers Institute's Trainor Lab has demonstrated the role of a gene important to the embryonic development of the nervous system, a process that requires coordination of differentiation of immature neural cells with the cycle of cell division that increases their numbers. Until now, the mechanisms regulating these distinct cellular activities... view more... (2008-02-04)
Scientists identify possible cause of endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition whereby patches of the inner lining of the womb appear in parts of the body other than the womb cavity. It can cause severe pain and affects approximately 15% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is also associated with infertility, with 50% of infertile women affected by the condition. view more (2008-08-06)
Molecular basis for neurodegeneration in Ataxia telangiectasia
An upcoming paper from Dr. David Wassarman (University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health) in the May 1 issue of G&D lends new insight into the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in Ataxia telangiectasia. view more (2008-04-15)
Scripps research team unravels new cellular repair mechanism
The cell cycle, which allows cells to replicate their DNA and produce new cells, is controlled by a complex concert of enzymes and other components. In addition there are "checkpoint" mechanisms that can block continuation of the process if something goes amiss. view more (2008-08-07)
New compound 'highly efficacious' at reducing human tumour growth
Innsbruck, Austria: Treatment with a new dual cell cycle and angiogenesis pathway inhibitor blocks VEGF-induced vascular permeability, inhibits tumour angiogenesis and induces apoptosis in human tumour models said Dr Gerhard Siemeister of Schering AG, Corporate Research, Berlin speaking at the 18th meeting of the European Association of Cancer... view more...

Alzheimer's disease as a case of brake failure?
Rutgers researcher Karl Herrup and colleagues at Case Western Reserve University have discovered that a protein that suppresses cell division in brain cells effectively "puts the brakes" on the dementia that comes with Alzheimer's disease (AD). When the brakes fail, dementia results. view more (2008-06-25)
Faulty cell cycle checkpoints linked to lung cancer risk in African-Americans
Faulty cell cycle "checkpoints" that fail to respond to DNA damage effectively may contribute to the high incidence of lung cancer in African-Americans. view more (2005-10-17)
NOAA: Sunspot is harbinger of new solar cycle, increasing risk for electrical systems
A new 11-year cycle of heightened solar activity, bringing with it increased risks for power grids, critical military, civilian and airline communications, GPS signals and even cell phones and ATM transactions, showed signs it was on its way late Thursday when the cycle's first sunspot appeared in the sun's Northern Hemisphere, NOAA scientists... view more...

Genetic 'tag team' keeps cells on cycle
By surveying the activity of thousands of genes at several different time points, researchers at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy have uncovered new evidence that a network of influential genes act as a kind of genetic tag team to orchestrate one of the most fundamental aspects of all life: the cell cycle. view more (2008-05-08)
Study links Alzheimer's disease to abnormal cell division
A new study in mice suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be triggered when adult neurons try to divide. The finding helps researchers understand what goes wrong in the disease and may lead to new ways of treating it. view more (2006-01-18)
Menstruation proves more than a curse
The cells which thicken the womb wall during a woman's menstrual cycle contain a newly discovered type of stem cell, and could be used in the treatment of damaged and/or old tissue. view more (2007-11-15)
Researchers learn more about ways to regenerate the ear's hearing cells
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have made important progress in their ongoing effort to regenerate the inner ear's hair cells, which convert sound vibrations to nerve impulses. view more (2006-05-01)
Fertility experts urge clinics to consider 'natural cycle' IVF instead of routine use of ovarian stimulants
A team of UK fertility experts wants IVF clinics to consider taking advantage of a woman's natural cycle during infertility treatment instead of routinely using drugs to stimulate ovaries into producing extra eggs. A study published today (Wednesday 31 January) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction*, has found that... view more... (2001-01-28)
