UCLA cancer researchers develop model that may help identify cancer stem cells
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, on a quest to find lung cancer stem cells, have developed a unique model to allow further investigation into the cells that many believe may be at the root of all lung cancers. view more (2009-06-16)
Rutgers Scientists Discover Brain Cell Development Process Implicated in Mental Retardation, Finding May Lead to New Drug Therapies
Scientists at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have discovered a biological process in brain cell development that may help explain some causes of mental retardation. This understanding may one day help other researchers develop therapies that can reduce specific forms of retardation. view more (2007-08-01)
Arterial, venous or total mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion causes different types of injury?
It is known that I/R induces an inflammatory response deleterious to the organ involved but also to the system as a whole. view more (2009-08-27)
Bones from blood: scientists aim to break new ground on fractures
Researchers from the University's Department of Biology are heading the EC-backed project to create bone structures from cord blood stem cells for use in the repair of bone defects and fractures. view more (2006-01-31)
Herpes: Scientists find cellular process that fights virus
Scientists have discovered a new way for our immune system to combat the elusive virus responsible for cold sores: Type 1 herpes simplex (HSV-1). As reported in the advance online edition of Nature Immunology, a group of virus hunters from the Université de Montréal, in collaboration with American colleagues, have identified a... view more...

Study shows PET can measure effectiveness of novel breast cancer treatment
A new study published in the July issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine shows that positron emission tomography (PET) scans in mice can be used to determine whether a novel type of breast cancer treatment is working as intended. view more (2009-07-02)
Promise of nanodiamonds for safer gene therapy
Gene therapy holds promise in the treatment of a myriad of diseases, including cancer, heart disease and diabetes, among many others. view more (2009-09-01)
Cancer Patients Can Be Endangered By `Alternative Cures` On The Web
Internet websites promoting `alternative` cures for cancer can seriously harm patients who follow their advice . And some are downright dangerous - according to an editorial published today in the British Journal of Cancer. A survey of 13 sites relating to alternative or complementary medicine and cancer found that patients were not only... view more... (2002-08-20)
UBC discovery may lead to 'smart' therapies for breast, ovarian cancer
New non-toxic and targeted therapies for metastatic breast and ovarian cancers may now be possible, thanks to a discovery by a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia. view more (2007-03-19)
High-throughput oncogene mutation detection in human cancers by mass spectrometry-based genotyping
Researchers have devised a new method to detect a spectrum of known gene mutations in a variety of cancer genes that they say is both sensitive and cost-effective. view more (2006-09-14)
The genetics of MLL leukemogenesis
In the November 1st issue of G&D, Dr. Michael Cleary (Stanford University School of Medicine) and colleagues identify the gene Meis1 as a critical player in the establishment of leukemia stem cells, and the development of MLL leukemia. view more (2007-10-17)
New Cause of Tamoxifen Resistance in Breast Cancer Cells Discovered at Lombardi
When a woman receives a breast cancer diagnosis her entire life may change in the blink of an eye. But the nature of that change is governed by the smallest alterations that take place within the proteins of the tumor cells, determining what treatments she can pursue with a hope of cure and those to which her cancer is resistant. view more (2007-08-13)
Microarray provides 3 genomic guides to breast cancer treatment decisions
Three genomic tests separately predict the likelihood that a patient's breast cancer will reoccur after surgery without additional treatment, and the cancer's vulnerability to chemotherapy or hormone therapy. view more (2007-09-07)
U of T researchers create microchip that can detect type and severity of cancer
U of T researchers have used nanomaterials to develop a microchip sensitive enough to quickly determine the type and severity of a patient's cancer so that the disease can be detected earlier for more effective treatment. view more (2009-09-28)
Ability to track stem cells in tumors could advance cancer treatments
Using noninvasive molecular imaging technology, a method has been developed to track the location and activity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the tumors of living organisms. view more (2008-06-17)
Effectiveness of most PTSD therapies is uncertain
Many people, including significant proportions of active duty military personnel and veterans, suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), often in conjunction with other injuries or illnesses. view more (2007-10-19)
Better treatment selection and improved therapies -- key to improving prognosis in acute HF
Today, acute heart failure represents the most common reason for hospitalisation in the over-65 population. view more (2009-06-01)
Older patients with acute coronary syndromes not getting recommended treatment
A review of more than 56,000 cases of acute coronary syndromes reveals that older patients are less likely to receive treatment recommended by guidelines, even though they benefit as much or more than younger patients when the recommended treatment is provided. view more (2005-10-12)
New study reports increased response to therapy with no added toxicity in treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer
In a study released today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists 37th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, researchers found the addition of thalidomide to topotecan for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer significantly increases the response to therapy and the duration of progression free survival without additional toxicity. view more (2006-03-27)
Cancer drug effectively treats transplant rejections
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers have discovered a new therapy for transplant patients, targeting the antibody-producing plasma cells that can cause organ rejection. view more (2008-12-29)
