Weizmann Institute scientists discover a control mechanism for metastasis
Metastasis - when cancer cells dissociate from the original tumor and migrate via the blood stream to colonize distant organs - is the main cause of cancer death. view more (2007-08-08)
Study shows new method of growth hormone dosing improves height
A randomized UCLA study found that a new dosing paradigm can improve height outcomes in the treatment of children who have short stature due to growth hormone deficiency and idiopathic short stature. view more (2005-06-07)
Unique dual target specificity of kinase inhibitor key for success against cancer
Scientists have identified a new molecule that inhibits proliferation of a broad range of lethal malignant glioma cells in vitro and in vivo. view more (2006-05-16)
'Gateway' gene discovered for brain cancer
Researchers have discovered that the same genetic regulator that triggers growth of stem cells during brain development also plays a central role in the development of the lethal brain cancer malignant glioma. view more (2007-02-15)
Cancer Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Discover What Makes Lymphomas Tick
University of Pennsylvania researchers and their colleagues at the Wistar Institute and University of Oxford have discovered the molecular process by which the PAX5 protein, necessary for lymphocyte development, promotes the growth of common lymphomas, thereby unveiling a potential new target in the fight against cancer. view more (2007-08-30)
Suppressing growth hormone in early adulthood may prevent cancer
A modest suppression of growth hormone and related compounds beginning in early adulthood may delay the onset or progression of several types of cancer, researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and other centers reported today at ENDO 2005, the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, in San Diego. view more (2005-06-06)
Researchers Discover New Factor in Nerve Regeneration
Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Human Anatomy have identified a factor involved in the regeneration of neurons in the central nervous system. The discovery and use of this factor could provide the basis for a reparative treatment for both brain and spinal cord injuries. Unlike lower vertebrates, mammals have lost the ability to... view more... (2003-04-07)
What makes a fungus virulent? It's lipase
Infection with the fungus Candida parapsilosis is a major problem for individuals in intensive care units, as well as for premature infants and immunocompromised adults. Despite this, little is known about which of its genes account for its virulence. view more (2007-09-14)
Monash researchers uncover cancer survival secrets
A team of Monash University researchers has uncovered the role of a family of enzymes in the mutation of benign or less aggressive tumours into more aggressive, potentially fatal, cancers in the human body. view more (2008-08-12)
Researchers Discover Method in Mice to Restore Tamoxifen Sensitivity in Resistant Breast Cancer
The widely used breast cancer drug tamoxifen (Nolvadex®), which can become less effective over time, might retain its full strength indefinitely if used along with a second drug, according to new research in mice conducted by investigators from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, and their partners. view more (2006-12-21)
Potential New Therapeutic Molecular Target to Fight Cancer
Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center have identified the enzyme sphingosine kinase 2 as a possible new therapeutic target to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy for colon and breast cancer. view more (2007-11-02)
A stem cell type supposed to be crucial for angiogenesis and cancer growth does not exist?
Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is a central process in diverse physiological and pathological situations such as healing of wounds and traumas, cardiovascular disorders, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and in cancer growth. view more (2008-04-23)
The Malignancy of Cerebral Tumours could be detected by means of Magnetic Resonance
Magnetic resonance is increasingly being used for the detection of cerebral tumours. Nevertheless, while the technique detects the existence of the tumour it does not enable us to tell whether in the case of malignant tumours the tumour cells are actively proliferating or not. A research team at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has... view more... (1999-06-04)
Researchers identify new, cancer-causing role for protein
The mainstay immune system protein TRAF6 plays an unexpected, key role activating a cell signaling molecule that in mutant form is associated with cancer growth, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the Aug. 28 edition of Science. view more (2009-08-28)
Predicting growth hormone treatment success
Growth hormone treatments work better on some children than on others, but judging which candidates will gain those vital inches in height is no simple task. view more (2007-12-13)
A potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common malignancy and the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death in the world. view more (2009-04-17)
An AIDS-related virus tricks cells to become tumors, new Penn study finds
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered how the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) subverts a normal cell process in order to promote tumor growth. view more (2006-11-09)
Statin plus cancer drug deliver combo punch to brain cancer cells
Building on newly discovered genetic threads in the rich tapestry of biochemical signals that cause cancer, a Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center team has dramatically killed brain cancer cells by blocking those signals with a statin and an experimental antitumor drug. view more (2007-01-19)
Cracking the egg
Sexual reproduction is not necessarily sexy (especially when scientists start analyzing it), but it is fascinating. As we all know, the basics entail bringing together an egg and a sperm, a whole lot of cell division and growth, and sooner or later a young organism that carries a mix of genes from both parents. view more (2006-10-04)
Newly appreciated membrane estrogen receptor important therapeutic target for breast cancer
New research at Rhode Island Hospital has uncovered the biological effects of a novel membrane estrogen receptor, a finding that has potential implications for hormonal therapy for breast cancer. view more (2009-07-02)
