First trachea transplant without immunosuppression
After 4 years of going from consultation to consultation, Claudia Castillo finally found a solution to her respiratory problems. The young Colombian woman suffered from a cough that took a long time to be diagnosed as tuberculosis.   view more (2008-11-19)

New study reveals signaling pathways required for expansion of pancreas stem cells
IDDM, which used to be referred to as Type 1 diabetes, results from selective destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic islet beta cells by the body's immune system.   view more (2006-05-17)

Obesity leads to more aggressive ovarian cancer, Cedars-Sinai research shows
Whether or not a woman is obese will likely affect her outcome once she has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, according to a new study from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.   view more (2006-08-28)

Researchers discover how compounds prevent viruses from entering cells
Compounds called defensins-known to prevent viruses from entering cells-appear to do so by preventing the virus from merging to cells' outer membrane.   view more (2005-09-16)

Protein found to control tumor growth in certain breast cancers
This protein was previously thought to play a role solely in the innate immune system's response to bacterial infection.   view more (2006-02-01)

U of Minnesota study finds thalidomide shows promise for treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer
Thalidomide, a drug blamed in the 1950s for causing birth defects, is now showing promise as a safe and effective treatment for women with recurrent ovarian cancer, according to a study led by a University of Minnesota Cancer Center researcher.   view more (2008-02-28)

Study raises questions about prostate cancer therapies targeting IGF-1
Therapies under development to treat prostate cancer by inhibiting the ability of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) to activate its target receptor could have unexpected results especially if a major tumor suppressor gene - p53 - is already compromised, according to new research by investigators... view more (2008-05-01)

Shorter colds, milder flu may follow from newly revealed immune mechanism
Enlisted to help fight viral infections, immune cells called macrophages consume virus-infected cells to stop the spread of the disease in the body.   view more (2005-10-10)

A new understanding of how cells defend themselves against bacterial pore-forming toxins
Biologists at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) have unveiled a new twist in a metabolic pathway that cells use to defend themselves against toxins made by disease-causing bacteria.   view more (2006-09-22)

EPA-led group finds same protein that attracts nutrient iron protects lung from particles

Clues to breast cancer hidden inside stem cells
Stem cells and how to boost them is hot on the research agenda. But stopping them could be critical too, as evidence implicating stem cells in cancer is mounting.   view more (2006-04-25)

Vitamin D protects cells from stress that can lead to cancer
By inducing a specific gene to increase expression of a key enzyme, vitamin D protects healthy prostate cells from the damage and injuries that can lead to cancer, University of Rochester Medical Center researchers report.   view more (2008-05-14)

Scientists discover why cornea is transparent and free of blood vessels, allowing vision
Scientists at the Harvard Department of Ophthalmology's Schepens Eye Research Institute and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI) are the first to learn why the cornea, the clear window of the eye, is free of blood vessels-a unique phenomenon that makes vision possible.   view more (2006-07-18)

Advances in understanding of the complexity of living cells: Molecular motors, tubes and adhesives, when a physicist meets a biologist"¦
One of the Institut Curie's great originalities, the interface between physics and cell biology, is a fertile terrain for discoveries. Dialogue between researchers of different backgrounds drives creativity, as witnessed by the rise in the number of Institut Curie publications on research work that... view more (2004-12-14)

Colon cancer a disease of hormone deficiency, Jefferson team finds
Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have found new evidence suggesting that colon cancer is actually a disease of missing hormones that could potentially be treated by hormone replacement therapy.   view more (2007-08-01)

The small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the ampulla of vater
Ampullary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is extremely rare and has only been documented in few case reports and retrospective study. The patients with ampullary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma usually presented after the age of 60 years, and a male predilection was observed.   view more (2008-09-25)

CSHL scientists trace causal link between a tumor suppressor gene and liver cancer
Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have taken the search for cancer-causing genes an important step forward. In a newly published paper, they confirm that a gene called DLC1 is a tumor suppressor. They have demonstrated in living mice that its deletion, inactivation or loss... view more (2008-06-04)

An artificial cornea is in sight, thanks to biomimetic hydrogels
If eyes are "the windows of the soul," corneas are the panes in those windows. They shield the eye from dust and germs. They also act as the eye's outermost lens, contributing up to 75 percent of the eye's focusing power.   view more (2006-09-12)
