Critical link in cell death pathway revealed
The role of a protein called XIAP in the regulation of cell death has been identified by Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers and has led them to recommend caution when drugs called IAP inhibitors are used to treat cancer patients with underlying liver conditions. view more (2009-07-23)
Potential new target for cancer found
By bypassing a well-known gene implicated in almost one-third of all cancers and instead focusing on the protein activated by the gene, Duke University Medical Center researchers believe they may have found a new target for anti-cancer drugs. view more (2007-07-16)
Arterial infusion using gabexate mesilate: Is it effective therapy for severe acute pancreatitis?
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) remains a lethal disease. It is defined as an inflammatory process of the pancreas with possible peripancreatic tissue and multi-organ involvement inducing multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) with an increased mortality rate. view more (2008-12-29)

The role of hormones in ovarian and endometrial cancers
High levels of the growth factor IGF-I can indicate increased risk of ovarian cancer before the age of 55. This is a finding put forward in a dissertation from Annekatrin Lukanova, Ume'å University, Sweden. The main objective of her thesis was to examine the relationship of pre-diagnostic circulating levels of sex-steroids (androgens and... view more... (2004-04-15)
Mouse model developed at UT Southwestern mimics hyperglycemia, aids in diabetes research
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have genetically engineered a laboratory mouse in which pancreatic beta cells can regenerate after being induced to die. The new animal model's regenerative ability may provide future insights into improved treatments of diabetes, which affects millions of Americans. view more (2008-06-02)
Johns Hopkins develops pancreas cancer risk model
People with a family history of pancreas cancer now have a way to accurately predict their chance of carrying a gene for hereditary pancreas cancer and their lifetime risk of developing the disease. view more (2007-04-17)
Pioneering surgical technique in Spain enables extirpation of benign tumours of the pancreas - preserving the organ's function to the maximum
A laparoscopic surgical technique enables extirpation of pancreatic tumours that are benign or of scant, highly localised malignant potential and that preserves the function of the organ to the maximum, at the same time significantly reducing the number of possible complications and the period of hospitalisation. view more (2009-02-04)
Overweight and obesity cause 6,000 cancers a year in UK women
The study shows that overweight and obese women in the UK are at a higher risk of developing and dying from cancer. In fact, the researchers estimate that 5% of all cancers (about 6,000 annually) are attributable to being overweight or obese. view more (2007-11-07)
The miseries of allergies just may help prevent some cancers, study finds
There may be a silver -- and healthy -- lining to the miserable cloud of allergy symptoms: Sneezing, coughing, tearing and itching just may help prevent cancer -- particularly colon, skin, bladder, mouth, throat, uterus and cervix, lung and gastrointestinal tract cancer, according to a new Cornell study. view more (2008-11-12)
Salivary diagnostics, the 'magic mirror' to your health ... at your personal computer
Accuracy, convenience, and non-invasiveness are the most critical characteristics for any diagnostic tool. A new concept, Salivaomics Knowledge Base (SKB), an in silico (i.e., performed on computer or via computer simulation) saliva diagnostic atlas, is launching today during the 37th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Dental Research... view more...

A spicy solution for colon cancer?
In the last few years, that tactic has proved productive for researchers investigating turmeric, a curry spice used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine. view more (2006-09-20)
New study reveals signaling pathways required for expansion of pancreas stem cells
IDDM, which used to be referred to as Type 1 diabetes, results from selective destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic islet beta cells by the body's immune system. view more (2006-05-17)
Cross-species transplant in rhesus macaques is step toward diabetes cure for humans
With an eye on curing diabetes, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have successfully transplanted embryonic pig pancreatic cells destined to produce insulin into diabetic macaque monkeys - all without the need for risky immune suppression drugs that prevent rejection. view more (2007-10-19)
Research unveils new, reliable approach to drug delivery for cancer patients
Prostate, breast and other cancer patients may be offered a new, stauncher targeted drug delivery system to treat their diseases in the next decade. view more (2005-11-02)
UC Davis researchers identify a protein that may help breast cancer spread, beat cancer drugs
New research from UC Davis Cancer Center shows that a protein called Muc4 may be the essential ingredient that allows breast cancer to spread to other organs and resist therapeutic treatment. view more (2009-04-02)
Low cholesterol associated with cancer in diabetics
Low levels of LDL cholesterol as well as high levels are associated with cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes. view more (2008-08-26)
Researchers Discover New Enzyme in Cancer Growth
While studying the mechanics of blood clots, researchers at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center discovered a new enzyme that not only affects the blood, but seems to play a primary role in how cancer tumors expand and spread throughout the body. view more (2008-12-04)
Columbia scientists develop cancer terminator viruses
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center continue to make strides in their work to develop the next generation of effective viral-based therapies for cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
New test proves effective in more cancers
Avantogen Limited (ACU:ASX) today announced that cancer researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research (TICHR) and Avantogen Limited have achieved an important milestone towards more individually targeted and effective treatments for cancer patients. view more (2005-10-07)
