Small molecule offers big hope against cancer
DCA is an odourless, colourless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic, small molecule. And researchers at the University of Alberta believe it may soon be used as an effective treatment for many forms of cancer. view more (2007-01-17)
Food additive inhibits longevity enzyme in yeast, increases cell toxicity, new study finds
A common additive found in food and cosmetics has been found to inhibit the activity of sirtuins, enzymes associated with lifespan control in yeast and other organisms, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2005-12-16)
Egg's Energy Stores Key to Preserving Fertility
An immature egg's internal nutrient supply is critical to its survival, an insight that offers a new route to understanding and treating infertility due to egg death. view more (2005-10-07)
Tumor cells evade death through autophagy
Autophagy is a cellular process that enables cells to turnover their contents, something that they do frequently. Autophagy is initiated in tumor cells by chemotherapy and radiation, but it is not known if this contributes to tumor cell death or helps tumor cells survive the anti-cancer therapy. view more (2007-01-19)
Retinol for combating leukemia cells
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is present in milk, liver, egg yolk, butter and other foodstuffs and as carotene in vegetables that have a yellow-orange colour, such as carrots and pumpkins. view more (2006-01-09)
Synthetic molecule causes cancer cells to self-destruct
Scientists have found a way to trick cancer cells into committing suicide. The novel technique potentially offers an effective method of providing personalized anti-cancer therapy. view more (2006-08-28)
Study Shows How Secondhand Smoke Injures Babies' Lungs
UC Davis researchers today described in unprecedented biochemical and anatomical detail how cigarette smoke damages the lungs of unborn and newborn children. view more (2006-08-17)
Researchers break chain of biochemical events that brain cancer cells use to evade therapy
In their quest to find and exploit vulnerabilities in the natural armor that protects malignant brain tumors from destruction, researchers have found a way to decrease the cells resistance to therapies that are designed to trigger cell death. view more (2006-02-06)
Elevated testosterone kills nerve cells
A Yale School of Medicine study shows for the first time that a high level of testosterone, such as that caused by the use of steroids to increase muscle mass or for replacement therapy, can lead to a catastrophic loss of brain cells. view more (2006-09-27)
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. view more (2006-04-03)
Molecule targets and kills tumor cells, starves blood supply
A man-made chemical compound called ARC causes tumor cells to die but leaves normal cells unharmed. view more (2006-03-16)
Researchers find molecular 'brake' to cell death
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have significantly refined the scientific understanding of how a cell begins the process of self-destruction—an advance they say may help in the design of more targeted cancer therapies. view more (2006-06-30)
Targeted virus compels cancer cells to eat themselves
An engineered virus tracks down and infects the most common and deadly form of brain cancer and then kills tumor cells by forcing them to devour themselves, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report this week in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2006-05-03)
Studies shed new light on why exercise can protect against skin and bowel cancers
Two studies have shown that exercise can protect against skin and bowel cancer, and they have identified new mechanisms that could be responsible for this effect. view more (2006-05-15)
Proteins are key to cell death in heart disease, stroke and degenerative conditions
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have gained deeper understanding of two members of a family of proteins called caspases that play a key role in promoting apoptosis, a process in which the cell responds to external signals by essentially committing suicide. view more (2006-02-23)
St. Jude announces breakthrough in eye cancer treatment
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have demonstrated in a mouse model a new, locally applied treatment for the eye cancer retinoblastoma that not only greatly reduces the size of the tumor, but does so without causing the side effects common with standard chemotherapy. view more (2006-11-02)
U. of Colorado team solves mystery of carcinogenic mothballs
Chemical compounds in household products like mothballs and air fresheners can cause cancer by blocking the normal process of "cell suicide" in living organisms, according to a new study spearheaded by the University of Colorado at Boulder. view more (2006-06-21)
Researchers say estrogen can kill breast cancer cells once fueled by the hormone
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers say some breast cancer cells once fueled by estrogen can be killed by the same hormone. view more (2005-12-07)
Inhibiting cell process may give cancer drug a boost
A molecule that interferes with the internal scaffolding that shapes the cell may kill cancer cells, retard the growth of tumors and give a boost to a common chemotherapy drug. view more (2006-05-04)
Vegetables inhibit growth of prostate cancer in mice with human tumors
Chemicals in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, watercress, cabbage and cauliflower, appear to stop human prostate cancer cells from growing in mice by affecting the expression of proteins. view more (2006-04-05)
