Tissue Geometry Plays Crucial Role in Breast Cell Invasion
Apropos of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a first-of-its-kind model for studying how breast tissue is shaped and structured during development. view more (2006-10-13)
K-State researcher examining why common anti-inflammatory drugs harm intestines
New versions of drugs like buffered aspirin and Vioxx could produce fewer harmful side effects thanks to research being done at Kansas State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. view more (2007-06-25)
Overexpressed protein converts noninvasive breast cancer into invasive disease
Active, but non-invasive breast cancer is set free to roam as invasive breast cancer when an overexpressed protein converts it to a different cell type, scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the Sept. 9 issue of the journal Cancer Cell. view more (2009-09-09)
Researchers identify another potential biomarker
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have demonstrated that a recently discovered class of molecule called microRNA (miRNAs), regulate the gene expression changes in airway cells that occur with smoking and lung cancer. view more (2009-01-14)
OHSU study says stem cell 'fusion' occurs in tumors
An Oregon Health & Science University study is adding credence to an increasingly popular theory that fusion is what bonds stem cells with bone marrow cells to regenerate organ tissue. view more (2006-05-10)
The biggest bug in gut discomfort
In spite of our long and painful relationship with Campylobacter jejuni, we are just starting to answer basic questions about the bug that is the leading cause of bacterial food-borne illness in the United States, and one of the most common causes of diarrhea worldwide. view more (2006-12-13)
Computer scientists develop model for studying arrangements of tissue networks by cell division
Computer scientists at Harvard have developed a framework for studying the arrangement of tissue networks created by cell division across a diverse set of organisms, including fruit flies, tadpoles, and plants. view more (2009-06-18)
From lung to gut - the Wnt signaling pathway transforms cell fate
Researchers have uncovered a cellular mechanism that can alter the fate of progenitor cells that normally generate the lung, causing them to create gut cells instead. The findings, which are published this week in the top-tier Open Access journal, Journal of Biology, could help researchers hoping to use adult stem cells for therapeutic purposes.... view more...

Study helps explain origins of cardiac fibrosis in patients with heart disease
A report led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) helps explain the origins of cardiac fibrosis, a stiffening of the heart muscle that leads to a variety of cardiac diseases, most notably heart failure. view more (2007-07-30)
Gold Nanorods May Make Safer Cancer Treatment
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Francisco, have found an even more effective and safer way to detect and kill cancer cells. view more (2006-03-14)
New study resolves the mysterious origin of Merkel cells
A new study resolves a 130-year-old mystery over the developmental origin of specialized skin cells involved in touch sensation. view more (2009-09-28)
Drawing a crowd: Understanding the signals that bring inflammatory cells into the lung
Understanding the connection between influx of immune cells into the lung and acute lung injury is essential, since lung damage tends to occur secondary to increased lung inflammation. view more (2006-02-17)
UCSD team unmasks family of immune system invaders
Like a family of petty criminals gone wrong, researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) were surprised to find that bacterial pathogens found in a number of troublesome diseases are actually related. view more (2006-01-13)
Jefferson scientists find tumor suppressor gene protects against pre-cancerous development
Cell biologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have provided further evidence that a gene thought to play a role in suppressing tumors actually can protect against the development of pre-cancerous cell growth as well. view more (2006-11-02)
Scientists learn more about how roughage keeps you 'regular'
If you ever wondered just how a high-fiber diet helps keep you, well, "regular," scientists may have the answer. view more (2006-08-23)
Male germ cells can be directly converted into other cell types
Researchers have found a way to directly convert spermatogonial stem cells, the precursors of sperm cells, into tissues of the prostate, skin and uterus. view more (2009-07-29)
Modeling head and neck cancers
In a report to be published in the May 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Xiao-Jing Wang and colleagues at Oregon Health & Science University present a novel model of head and neck cancer, which is expected to become an invaluable tool in the evaluation of biomarkers and therapies to treat this devastating disease. view more (2006-05-15)
Scientists discover influenza's Achilles heel: Antioxidants
As the nation copes with a shortage of vaccines for H1N1 influenza, a team of Alabama researchers have raised hopes that they have found an Achilles' heel for all strains of the flu-antioxidants. view more (2009-10-30)
Ovarian cancer stem cells identified, characterized
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have identified, characterized and cloned ovarian cancer stem cells and have shown that these stem cells may be the source of ovarian cancer's recurrence and its resistance to chemotherapy. view more (2008-04-18)
Researchers identify gene as protector of DNA, enemy of tumors
A single gene plays a pivotal role launching two DNA damage detection and repair pathways in the human genome, suggesting that it functions as a previously unidentified tumor suppressor gene. view more (2006-08-07)
