'Muscle' protein drives prostate cancer
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have for the first time implicated the muscle protein myosin VI in the development of prostate cancer and its spread. view more (2006-11-09)
Measuring nitrate concentrations in leafy green vegetables
Leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, Asian greens, and spinach can accumulate high concentrations of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), which are potentially harmful if consumed by humans. view more (2009-09-09)
Barrow study identifies new way to biopsy brain tumors in real time
A new miniature, hand-held microscope may allow more precise removal of brain tumors and an easier recognition of tumor locations during surgery. view more (2009-11-12)
Should children be permitted to get genetic testing for BRCA 1/2 mutations?
It's an ethical dilemma with serious implications. Should children be tested for gene mutations that predispose them to developing breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer later in life" New research suggests the next generation of parents may support testing minors even when any steps to reduce that risk will be postponed until adulthood - a... view more...

TONGUE CHARACTERISTICS COULD IDENTIFY CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISORDER (p 1500)
The absence of tissue joining the tongue with the base of the mouth at birth could be a marker for the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), conclude authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. EDS is a group of inheritable connective tissue disorders, characterised by skin hyperextensibility and joint... view more... (2001-05-09)
Diabetes drug dramatically boosts power of platinum chemotherapy
A widely used diabetes drug dramatically boosted the potency of platinum-based cancer drugs when administered together to a variety of cancer cell lines and to mice with tumors, scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute report. view more (2007-05-08)
Researchers Reveal Soya's Effects On Breast Tissue
Eating a diet rich in soya products such as tofu can affect the make-up of breast tissue, potentially reducing the risk of breast cancer, according to a new study* from Cancer Research UK. Scientists have previously suggested that soya intake might contribute to the low rates of breast cancer in countries like China and Japan but research has... view more... (2002-07-04)
Light and sound -- the way forward for better medical imaging
Detection and treatment of tumours, diseased blood vessels and other soft-tissue conditions could be significantly improved, thanks to an innovative imaging system being developed that uses both light and sound. view more (2007-12-13)
Cancer diagnosis - the Star Trek way
A small portable optical tool that can simply be pointed at the body to detect cancerous cells or reveal how body tissue is being affected by laser or cryogenic therapy could one day be the result of research being carried out by laser physicists at Imperial College. view more (2000-03-21)
Breast Cancer, Prognostic Factors, Mortality, Recurrence
Tumor Grade, Age at Diagnosis of First Tumor, and Duration Without Cancer Predict the Risk of Death After a Local Recurrence of Breast Cancer view more (2002-05-16)
Protein linked to change in tissue that surround and support breast tumors
A protein known to be overly active in breast cancer can exist in a form that seems to change the structural composition of mammary tissue, potentially making it more conducive to tumor progression, say researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). view more (2009-06-15)
Fly with brain tumor may shed light on cancer causing genes
A study showing how the expression of genes changes when the brain tissue of fruit flies becomes cancerous is published this week in BMC Genomics. As the function of many of these genes is conserved across evolution, the researchers expect their results will help us to understand why human brain tumors develop. The causes of brain tumor... view more... (2004-04-14)
Mechanism Behind Stuttering Revealed (p 380)
Stuttering is caused by a structural abnormality in the left hemisphere of the brain, according to an article in this week's LANCET. Dr Martin Sommer and colleagues from the Universities of Hamburg and Göttingen in Germany report that persistent developmental stuttering results from a disconnection of speech-related areas in the cortex.... view more...

Harvard researchers publish MRI images of genes in action in the living brain
Biologists have just confirmed what poets have known for centuries: eyes really are windows of the soul-or at least of the brain. view more (2008-03-31)
New evidence that popular dietary supplement may help prevent, treat cataracts
Researchers are reporting evidence from tissue culture experiments that the popular dietary supplement carnosine may help to prevent and treat cataracts, a clouding of the lens of the eye that is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. view more (2009-07-16)
Penn researchers enlist proteins to 'switch on' heart tissue repair system in animal models
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine are utilizing a protein to "switch on" the ability to repair damaged heart tissue. view more (2006-07-10)
Prodrug could help curb skin toxicity related to EGFR-inhibiting cancer drugs
There may be a way around the harsh skin toxicity associated with a widely used cancer drug, according to a study published online this week in Cancer Biology and Therapy by researchers from City of Hope and the Kimmel Cancer at Jefferson. view more (2009-09-02)
Virtual biopsy cuts out need for diagnostic surgery
A non-invasive diagnostic tool to detect surface cancers quickly and painlessly using technology currently employed by gyms to calculate body composition has been developed by a QUT PhD medical physics researcher. view more (2008-01-18)
WT1, male fertility and tumorigenesis
Detailed in an upcoming report in G&D, Dr. Miles Wilkinson and colleagues use a new tissue-specific RNAi approach they developed to identify a novel postnatal role for the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) tumor suppressor in spermatogenesis. view more (2006-01-16)
£ 9.7 M for tissue engineering research
Research into Tissue Engineering has received a major boost with a grant of over £9.7M from a joint Research Council consortium to the Universities of Manchester and Liverpool, led by Professor Tim Hardingham, Professor David Williams and Professor Mark Ferguson. The award will fund research to improve our understanding of cell behaviour so... view more... (2000-09-08)
