Genome changes tracked during multiple myeloma initiation, progression and treatment
Scientists have made significant progress toward elucidating key genetic events associated with the development and progression of multiple myeloma (MM), an incurable malignancy that is the second most common cancer of the blood.   view more (2006-04-11)

Dynamic duo: Combination therapy reverses type 1 diabetes
Researchers have now carefully crafted a combination therapy that reverses recent-onset type 1 diabetes in 2 animal models of disease.   view more (2006-04-21)

Short-term hemofiltration is cost-effective for severe acute pancreatitis
Early nasogastric enteral nutrition is a breakthrough in the management of severe acute pancreatitis. From meta-analysis based on current available clinical studies early nasogastric enteral nutrition appeared effective and safe in clinical practice.   view more (2007-10-15)

UCLA researchers identify how antibody blocks prostate cancer growth in animal models
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center have uncovered the mechanism by which an antibody blocks the growth of prostate cancer in animal models, a discovery that could pave the way for development of a new molecularly targeted therapy.   view more (2005-10-18)

Green tea and the 'Asian Paradox'
There is a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer in Asia where people smoke heavily, which may be accounted for by high consumption of tea, particularly green tea, according to a review article published by a Yale School of Medicine researcher.   view more (2006-06-07)

Cell-regulating gene may predict survival outcomes for breast cancer patients
A study led by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine has shown that a cell-regulating gene overexpressed in about 30 to 50 percent of all breast cancers is associated with a better chance of survival and increased sensitivity to a cancer-fighting drug.   view more (2006-09-06)

On target
In an upcoming Genes & Development paper, Dr. Christopher Counter and colleagues at the Duke University Medical Center have identified IL6 as a new target in the battle against Ras-induced cancers.   view more (2007-07-16)

Two new compounds created by a University of Central Florida professor show early promise for destroying breast cancer tumors.   view more (2008-11-19)

Enzyme inhibitor produces stable disease in patients with advanced solid cell cancers
Preliminary trials of a MEK enzyme inhibitor have shown that it is capable of producing long-lasting stable disease in patients with advanced solid cancers. Tests showed that the drug inhibited key targets in the patients' tumours, and now it is being tested in phase II clinical trials.   view more (2006-11-08)

FDA finds no strong link between tomatoes and reduced cancer risk
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review has found only limited evidence for an association between eating tomatoes and a decreased risk of certain cancers.   view more (2007-07-11)

Jefferson Scientists See Breast Cancer Gene Activity from Outside the Body
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College and Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer in Philadelphia have used PET imaging to see hyperactive cancer genes inside breast tumors in laboratory animals, marking the first time such gene activity has been observed from outside the body.   view more (2007-11-29)

Researchers identify a role for glucose-sensing neurons in type 2 diabetes
In cases of Type 2 diabetes, the body's cells fail to appropriately regulate blood glucose levels. Research has suggested that this results from two simultaneous problems: the improper functioning of pancreatic beta cells and the impairment of insulin's actions on target tissues, including the... view more (2007-08-30)

Enzyme defect leads to hyperinsulinism
A recent study in the Journal of Biological Chemistry confirms that mutations in an enzyme called glutamate dehydrogenase can cause congenital hyperinsulinism.   view more (2006-05-25)

Gardenia fruit compound starting point for diabetes therapy
A Gardenia fruit extract traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat the symptoms of type 2 diabetes does indeed contain a chemical that reverses some of the pancreatic dysfunctions that underlie the disease.   view more (2006-06-07)

Report calls for using heated chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery to optimize patient survival
There is new hope for some of the most seriously ill colon cancer patients today, following the release of a consensus statement by 72 leading oncology surgeons from 14 countries, including the United States.   view more (2006-11-06)

Scientists Identify the “Bin Laden” of Cancer Causing Faulty Proteins
Researchers in the University of Warwick’s Molecular Medicine Research Centre have found the “Bin Laden” of cancer causing faulty proteins. They have undermined the old complex model of how many cancers start and identified a single protein known as c-Myc as a... view more (2002-05-13)

Can berberine enhance glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in rat islets?
The therapeutical actions of berberine on diabetes have been well studied. Previous researches show that berberine modulates cholesterol through increasing low-density lipoprotein receptor mRNA stability, reduces body adiposity and increases insulin sensitivity partly through activating... view more (2008-11-03)

Who gets cancer treatment, and who completes it?
Cancer treatment is now very effective in many cases, yet not all patients with cancer are referred and not all complete their treatment programme. This has puzzled cancer specialists who have wondered if psychological factors might influence their decision and has led to research carried out by Dr... view more (2002-11-13)
