Cancer cells treated with carbon nanotubes can be destroyed by non-invasive radio waves that heat up the nanotubes while sparing untreated tissue, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Rice University has shown in preclinical experiments. view more (2007-11-02)

Increased hepcidin expression: A novel oncogenic signalling mechanism
Historically anaemia, which is associated with colorectal cancer, has been attributed to blood loss. Previous studies have elegantly shown that the anti-microbial peptide hepcidin can also induce anaemia as a consequence of infection and or inflammation. view more (2008-03-19)
