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)

Modest Survival Benefit From Chemotherapy For Patients With Glioma Brain Tumours (p 1011)
Chemotherapy in addition to radiotherapy could have a modest survival benefit for the treatment of high-grade glioma, a severe form of brain cancer, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Malignant gliomas are among the most devastating of cancers. They frequently result in... view more (2002-03-20)

AUA releases new guidelines on non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
The AUA is pleased to announce their new Guideline on the Management of Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer.

In a new twist on the slogan "milk does a body good," radiologists are testing use of the dairy staple as a contrast agent in gastrointestinal imaging exams-with excellent results.   view more (2006-11-30)

Obesity research boosted by watching hunger in the brain
Scientists can now measure how full or hungry a mouse feels, thanks to a new technique which uses imaging to reveal how neurons behave in the part of the brain which regulates appetite.   view more (2007-11-08)

Drug combination might offer hope for patients deadly brain tumors
Brain cancer patients with the poorest prognosis -- those with a type of deadly tumor known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) -- may survive longer with a drug that chokes off a tumor's blood supply.   view more (2007-10-19)

Study broadens understanding of enzymes linked to tumor promoting molecule
Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have found that two enzymes that catalyze the same reaction and produce the same product have opposite effects on cell growth and death.   view more (2005-11-07)

Nature's weapon against nerve agents
An enzyme found naturally in the blood could help protect soldiers against the effects of the deadly nerve agent sarin, reports Cath O'Driscoll in the Society of Chemical Industry's magazine Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI.   view more (2007-07-30)

Can Computers Argue?
The answer is yes, and not only that: they can also evaluate what will be the most successful strategy for conflict resolution, including re-formulating their action, or evading confrontation. Argument is used by computer agents only as the last resort. The effectiveness of argumentation-based... view more (2004-07-05)

Resistance to chemotherapy in lung cancer, optimizing flu vaccination strategies
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, in part because these tumors often are or become resistant to chemotherapy.   view more (2006-10-03)

Antitumor agent under the microscope
Mechanical stabilization of DNA keeps tumor cells in check Cisplatin is one of the most widely employed cancer medications. As with many other chemotherapy agents, the mechanism by which it works has not been fully researched. Now, thanks to Munich physicists Hermann E. Gaub, Rupert Krautbauer, and... view more (2000-10-30)

CT imaging with use of novel contrast agent may predict heart attack in waiting
A new imaging technology may hold the key to not only stopping heart attacks in their tracks but also preventing them for ever occurring.   view more (2007-04-10)

New tool to speed cancer therapy approval available
Although cancer remains a leading cause of death in America, it can take up to 12 years to bring a new anti-cancer agent before the FDA and the success rate for approval is only five to 10 percent. That means many research hours and dollars are wasted chasing avenues that will not bring fruit.   view more (2008-09-15)

Could vitamin D save us from radiation?
Radiological health expert Daniel Hayes, Ph.D., of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene suggests that a form of vitamin D could be one of our body's main protections against damage from low levels of radiation.   view more (2008-11-10)

eSPACE turns the table on traditional sales techniques
