Mechanism controlling DNA damage response has potential novel medical applications
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered a previously unrecognized mechanism that controls a key protein linked to the cell's response to stress-a finding that holds promise for new ways to enhance cancer therapies or protect cells from dying after exposure to damaging... view more (2005-10-07)

Radiation, chemotherapy with liver transplant improves cancer survival
A new treatment for patients with a type of bile duct cancer promises a greater chance at survival by combining radiation, chemotherapy and liver transplantation, Mayo Clinic physicians report in the September issue of the Annals of Surgery.   view more (2005-09-12)

Updated data on novel HPV vaccine confirms efficacy in large population
Updated data from a study on a promising new vaccine against a pre-cancerous cervical virus shows superior efficacy in preventing cervical pre-cancers and non-invasive cervical cancer.   view more (2005-11-01)

Little known DNA repair enzyme may be a tumor suppressor gene
The DNA in our cells is constantly being bombarded by environmental, chemical and cellular insults. Fortunately, our cells contain many enzymes devoted strictly to detecting and repairing any damage caused by these insults.   view more (2006-01-04)

Psychiatric disorders delay cancer diagnosis
Patients with psychiatric disorders are diagnosed with esophageal cancer much later and at a more advanced stage than patients with no psychiatric diagnosis.   view more (2005-08-15)

Scientists discover interplay between genes and viruses in tiny ocean plankton
New evidence from open-sea experiments shows there's a constant shuffling of genetic material going on among the ocean's tiny plankton. It happens via ocean-dwelling viruses, scientists report this week in the journal Science.   view more (2006-03-27)

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Can Identify Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Early in High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
The effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer can be evaluated earlier by using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over other conventional imaging procedures, according to an article in the July issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of... view more (2005-07-27)

'Guardian of the genome' protein found to underlie skin tanning
A protein known as the "master watchman of the genome" for its ability to guard against cancer-causing DNA damage has been found to provide an entirely different level of cancer protection: By prompting the skin to tan in response to ultraviolet light from the sun, it deters the... view more (2007-03-09)

Ultraviolet B light exposure associated with increased risk of skin cancer
A decreased ability to repair chromosomal damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation in test tubes may be associated with an increased risk of the common skin cancers basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but not of melanoma.   view more (2005-12-21)

New Lifespan Extension Genes Found
New genes tied to lifespan extension in yeast have been identified by researchers from UC Davis and Harvard Medical School.   view more (2005-10-03)

Revolution in the fight against cancer & viruses
A recent scientific discovery could herald the introduction of fast, effective treatments for cancer and viruses.   view more (2006-05-26)

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)

Zeroing in on progeria: How mutant lamins cause premature aging
Children diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) race through life against an unfairly fast clock. Cases are extremely rare-one in 8 million births-but time plays cruel tricks on HGPS newborns.   view more (2005-12-14)

UCLA researchers observe how the immune system recognizes and responds to cancer
Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center were able to observe-in real time-how the immune system initially recognizes cancer and mobilizes to fight the disease.   view more (2005-11-15)

Salivary bacteria as indicators of oral cancer?
Patients suffering from oral cancer have increased levels of certain bacteria in their saliva, according to new research published today in the Open Access journal, Journal of Translational Medicine.   view more (2005-07-07)

Quantum dots reviewed — Could these nanoparticles hold the cure to cancer?
The worlds of medical and biological research are abuzz with the promises offered by nanoparticles known as semiconductor quantum dots. These Quantum Dots (QDs) have unique optical and electronic properties that make them suitable for breakthrough treatments such as the detection and destruction of... view more (2006-09-15)

Dying of excitement
For neurons, overexcitement is deadly. To avoid this, brain cells must sop up unneeded neurotransmitters from the synapse through membrane-bound transporters. If these transporters fail, neurons and other brain cells get excited to death- a phenomenon that may contribute to brain damage during... view more (2006-03-06)

Passive smoke in workplace increases lung cancer risk
An analysis of nearly two dozen studies confirms the association between passive smoke in the workplace and an increased risk of lung cancer.   view more (2007-02-01)

Gene therapy accelerates healing of damaged skeletal muscle
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers have successfully used gene therapy to accelerate muscle regeneration in experimental animals with muscle damage, suggesting this technique may be a novel and effective approach for improving skeletal muscle healing, particularly for serious... view more (2006-06-05)

How can identical twins be genetically different?
They sleep together, eat together, and most people find it impossible to tell them apart. Identical twins who grow up together share just about everything, including their genes. But sometimes only one twin will have health problems when genetics predicts both of them should.   view more (2006-07-26)

Cancer cell communication exposed
The discovery, by scientists at Monash University and the Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, of how communication between cancer cells is controlled has promised new treatment options for malignant tumours.   view more (2005-10-31)
