Stanford scientists turn adult skin cells into muscle and vice versa
In a study featured on the cover of the May issue of The FASEB Journal, researchers describe how they are able to reprogram human adult skin cells into other cell types in order to decipher the elusive mechanisms underlying reprogramming. view more (2009-04-30)
Specialized bath products for allergic eczema of 'questionable' value
Specialised bath products to relieve the symptoms of allergic (atopic) eczema are of "questionable" value, says the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB). view more (2007-10-03)
Why don't we get cancer all the time?
The seemingly inefficient way our bodies replace worn-out cells is a defense against cancer, according to new research. view more (2007-12-20)
Scottsdale Healthcare-TGen clinical trial results signal advances against skin cancer
Analyses of clinical trial results published today in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) shows a potential new investigational therapy for advanced and metastatic basal cell skin cancer. view more (2009-09-03)
DFG remains skeptical of the cloning of human cells
According to a paper published in the journal Stem Cells, an American group has succeeded in inserting cell nuclei from human skin cells into human enucleated oocytes and to stimulate these new cells to undergo cell division in the laboratory. view more (2008-01-23)
Aggressive microdermabrasion induces wound-healing response in aging skin
Microdermabrasion using a coarse diamond-studded instrument appears to induce molecular changes in the skin of older adults that mimic the way skin is remodeled during the wound healing process. view more (2009-10-20)
Skin cancer breakthrough - Gene explains why men are at higher risk of malignant melanoma
Researchers from Germany have identified a gene that is associated with an increased risk of suffering from skin cancer. The research, published this month in Journal of Carcinogenesis, could also explain why men are more likely to suffer from malignant melanoma than women. Although most people associate melanoma with exposure to UV light, through... view more... (2003-11-26)
Pitt research indicates new virus is culprit, not bystander, in deadly skin cancer
University of Pittsburgh scientists are uncovering more evidence that a virus they recently discovered is the cause of Merkel cell carcinoma, an aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. view more (2008-09-23)
Mouse model aids discovery of novel melanoma metastasis gene
Researchers from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a novel gene that facilitates the spread of malignant melanoma, a life-threatening skin cancer, using a technique they say can speed the discovery of hard-to-find cancer genes. view more (2006-06-30)
Does too much sun cause melanoma?
We are continuously bombarded with messages about the dangers of too much sun and the increased risk of melanoma (the less common and deadliest form of skin cancer), but are these dangers real, or is staying out of the sun causing us more harm than good? view more (2008-07-23)
Scientists produce neurons from human skin
Scientists from Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine have succeeded in producing neurons in vitro using stem cells extracted from adult human skin. view more (2007-02-23)
Study shows Darwin was wrong about the origins of chickens
A novel genetic study has revealed why chickens have yellow legs, demonstrating that though Charles Darwin was right about many things, his view on the origins of the chicken was not entirely correct. view more (2008-03-03)
DNA repair mechanisms are concentrated in the active parts of the genome
Less than 10% of the human genome contains coded information in the form of genes. The 30,000-40,000 genes in the genome are found grouped in discrete regions of the chromosomes. Chemical agents and radiation habitually cause a large variety of injuries to the DNA which interferes in many cell processes, like transcription and replication, and... view more... (2002-10-01)
BUSM study finds photographs of UV exposure can impact sunburns in preteens
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found that among preteens, the use of photographs to measure ultraviolet (UV) exposure, could motivate them to improve sun protection practices and limit number of sunburns. These findings appear in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association. view more (2009-04-23)
Statins have neutral effect on risk of cancer
The cholesterol-lowering medications called statins do not appear to reduce the incidence of cancer or cancer deaths. view more (2006-01-04)
Oral vitamin D may help prevent some skin infections
A study led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine suggests that use of oral Vitamin D supplements bolsters production of a protective chemical normally found in the skin, and may help prevent skin infections that are a common result of atopic dermatitis, the most common form of eczema. view more (2008-10-07)
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)
BREAST CANCER DOES NOT INCREASE RISK OF COLORECTAL CANCER
Women with a history of breast cancer are not at an increased risk of colorectal cancer, conclude authors of a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. A history of breast cancer has been reported as a risk factor for colorectal cancer in women. However, in view of the ambiguous nature of existing evidence and the growing interest in... view more...

Stopping the clock: Genetics of tumor latency in skin cancer
Dr. Anthony E. Oro and colleagues (Stanford University) have identified two key Gli protein degradation signals that directly affect tumor latency in a mouse model of human skin cancer. view more (2006-01-20)
Special gold nanoparticles show promise for 'cooking' cancer cells
Researchers are describing a long-awaited advance toward applying the marvels of nanotechnology in the battle against cancer. They have developed the first hollow gold nanospheres - smaller than the finest flecks of dust - that search out and "cook" cancer cells. view more (2009-03-23)
