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)
Mice cloned from skin cells
Healthy and viable mice that survive until adulthood have, for the first time, been cloned from adult stem cells. Scientists from Rockefeller University, including Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Elaine Fuchs, used cells called keratinocyte stem cells, which represent a new model system for cloning. view more (2007-02-13)
Getting down to cancer basics
Researchers have identified a new cancer gene - one that is common to many cancers and affects the most basic regulation of our genes. The new example - a gene on the X chromosome called UTX - is found in 10% of cases of multiple myeloma and 8% of esophageal cancers. view more (2009-03-30)
An efficient approach to monitor gastrointestinal microflora changes
Pi-deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the most common digestive diseases and usually the equilibrium of gastrointestinal microflora are broken, which plays many important roles in the growth, development and performance of the host. view more (2009-05-22)

Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found a marker that can be used to identify stem cells in breast tumors, suggesting a potential simple test that could help determine the best treatment for breast cancer. view more (2007-12-04)
Institute for Animal Health at the BA Festival: Rinderpest on the ropes
New vaccines could aid efforts to rid the world of cattle plague, according to research presented today (Tuesday 09 September 2003) at the BA festival of Science. Professor Tom Barrett and colleagues at the Institute for Animal Health (IAH) have produced several candidate vaccines, using the latest DNA technology, which could assist in the final... view more...

Brain DNA 'remodeled' in alcoholism
Reshaping of the DNA scaffolding that supports and controls the expression of genes in the brain may play a major role in the alcohol withdrawal symptoms, particularly anxiety, that make it so difficult for alcoholics to stop using alcohol. view more (2008-04-02)
Radiologists identify early brain marker of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have found a new marker which may aid in early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published in the October issue of Radiology. view more (2007-09-25)
Height linked to risk of prostate cancer development and progression
A man's height is a modest marker for risk of prostate cancer development, but is more strongly linked to progression of the cancer, say British researchers who conducted their own study on the connection and also reviewed 58 published studies. view more (2008-09-03)
Identified mechanism in the malaria parasite to help it adapt to infected individuals
Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe forms of human malaria. Invasion of host red blood cells is an essential step of the complex life cycle of this parasite. view more (2007-08-03)

A Wake Forest University School of Medicine team believes it has found biomarkers for lupus that also may play a role in causing the disease. view more (2006-11-13)
New universal breast cancer marker predicts recurrence and clinical outcome
Reporting online in the American Journal of Pathology, researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have implicated the loss of a stromal protein called caveolin-1 as a major new prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer, predicting early disease recurrence, metastasis and breast cancer patient survival. view more (2009-05-07)
