Resistance to chemotherapy in lung cancer, optimizing flu vaccination strategies
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, in part because these tumors often are or become resistant to chemotherapy.   view more (2006-10-03)

Protein-coated dental implants could improve bone regeneration
Titanium dental implants coated with proteins that induce bone formation may be a key advancement in treating tooth loss due to gum disease, researchers say.   view more (2006-07-18)

Low cholesterol cues cataract development
Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Using a rat model of cataract formation, Masayuki Mori and researchers at Shinshu University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan have now found a link between cataracts and cholesterol.   view more (2006-01-27)

Mayo Clinic research shows promise for myeloma patients
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center investigators report that combination therapy with lenalidomide (RevlimidTM) and dexamethasone (combination is called Rev/Dex) looks like a breakthrough treatment for multiple myeloma.   view more (2005-09-02)

Malfunctioning bone marrow cells sabotage nerve cells in diabetes
Malfunctioning bone marrow cells that produce insulin appear to cause a dangerous nerve condition called neuropathy that disables many people with diabetes, said a research team led by Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.   view more (2005-08-23)

First for stem cell researcher
In an Australian-first, a UNSW researcher based at the Diabetes Transplant Unit at the Prince of Wales Hospital has produced a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line without the use of any animal products.   view more (2006-01-23)

Study ties 'new' cell-death mechanism to developmental and degenerative brain disorders
An international research team has provided the first conclusive evidence that neurodevelopmental disorders such as mental retardation and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and ataxias can be caused, at least in part, by specific gene defects that... view more (2006-02-28)

Powerful technique for multiplying adult stem cells may aid therapies
Adult stem cells may be free of the ethical concerns that hamper embryonic stem cell research, but they still pose formidable scientific challenges. Chief among these is the doggedness with which adult stem cells differentiate into mature tissue the moment they're isolated from the body.   view more (2006-01-23)

Life and death in the hippocampus: what young neurons need to survive
Whether newborn nerve cells in adult brains live or die depends on whether they can muscle their way into networks occupied by mature neurons.   view more (2006-08-14)

Mathematics reveals genetic pattern of tumor growth
Using mathematical theory, UC Irvine scientists have shed light on one of cancer's most troubling puzzles - how cancer cells can alter their own genetic makeup to accelerate tumor growth.   view more (2007-06-25)

Bone Marrow Stem Cells May Cure Eye Disease
Adult bone marrow stem cells may help cure certain genetic eye diseases, according to UC researchers.   view more (2007-05-11)

A new player in the battle against hepatitis prevents inflammation and the death of liver cells
Scientists from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) have again achieved a breakthrough in research on hepatitis.   view more (2005-09-02)

How nature tinkers with the cellular clock
The life of a cell is all about growing and dividing at the right time. That is why the cell cycle is one of the most tightly regulated cellular processes.   view more (2006-09-28)

UCR Researchers Grow Bone Cells on Carbon Nanotubes
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have published findings that show, for the first time, that bone cells can grow and proliferate on a scaffold of carbon nanotubes.   view more (2006-03-16)

MRI drug may improve cancer-killing ability of chemotherapy, study says
A contrast agent currently used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), called mangafodipir, may increase the cancer-killing ability of some chemotherapy drugs while protecting normal cells.   view more (2006-02-15)

Neural Stem Cells Are Long-Lived
New studies in mice have shown that immature stem cells that proliferate to form brain tissues can function for at least a year - most of the life span of a mouse - and give rise to multiple types of neural cells, not just neurons.   view more (2005-10-06)

Scientists discover how body fights to control spread of cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how two molecules fight in the blood to control the spread of cancer cells.   view more (2007-01-09)

Plastic solar cell efficiency breaks record at WFU nanotechnology center
The global search for a sustainable energy supply is making significant strides at Wake Forest University as researchers at the university's Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials have announced that they have pushed the efficiency of plastic solar cells to more than 6 percent.   view more (2007-04-20)

UCLA researchers develop T-cells from human embryonic stem cells
Researchers from the UCLA AIDS Institute and the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine have demonstrated for the first time that human embryonic stem cells can be genetically manipulated and coaxed to develop into mature T-cells, raising hopes for a gene therapy to combat AIDS.   view more (2006-07-05)

Cancer stem cells linked to radiation resistance
Certain types of brain cancer cells, called cancer stem cells, help brain tumors to buffer themselves against radiation treatment by activating a "repair switch" that enables them to continue to grow unchecked.   view more (2006-10-19)

Cancer cells lose drug resistance following electrical stimulation in vitro
Drug-resistant tumour cells lose their drug resistance when exposed to low intensity, low frequency electric pulses for three days.   view more (2006-03-17)

Donor T cells change the fate of stem cells in transplantation
When a transplant patient suffers complications such as graft rejection or graft-versus-host disease, physicians attempt to stop the body's immune response by targeting a patient's T cells.   view more (2006-07-13)

New study shows antibody-interleukin complexes stimulate immune responses
The findings could also be significant for developing new ways to help patients with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or juvenile diabetes.   view more (2006-02-23)

HIV-1 kills immune cells in the gut that may never bounce back
People with HIV have been living longer, healthier lives since the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy (or HAART) in 1995. In fact, most patients on the drug regimen do so well that, according to blood tests, their immune cells appear to return to pre-HIV levels.   view more (2006-12-05)

Researchers discover why melanoma is so malignant
About 60,000 Americans will be diagnosed with melanoma this year, says the American Cancer Society, and 10,000 of those cases will be fatal.   view more (2005-09-06)
