My Personal Experience in Donating Bone Marrow/Stem cells. Be a Donor, Fight Leukemia- Bradford Pine

By on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | No Comments

www.SwabMyCheek.com …… I recently had the life-changing experience of becoming a bone marrow donor. As I learned more about how many people need a transplant and how small the bone marrow registry actually is, I knew this was an issue I would become passionate about. I want to share with you how surprisingly easy the process is, and to get the word out to encourage everyone to participate! In this video, I clarify some of the misconceptions about donating,explain the process and documented my own experience.Let’s create awareness together!! If you believe in the cause, post this on Facebook, email it to everyone you know and use any other social media you think is best. I have a personal mission to significantly increase the registry. Please let me know if you join the registry by emailing me at Brad@SwabMyCheek.com

Leukemia Survivor Meets Stem-cell Donor

By on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | No Comments

On October 1st, 2009 I was diagnosed with Leukemia. After 9 months of intense chemotherapy treatments, the decision was made that I would need a bone marrow transplant. A suitable donor was not found within my family so I would have to rely on the national Be The Match® marrow registry to locate one for me. A match was found and on August 18th, 2010 I underwent a stem-cell transplant using an unrelated donors stem-cells. Today, I’m cancer free! Her generosity and selflessness has allowed me to call myself a ‘survivor’. This video was captured of my donor and I meeting face-to-face for the first time. It was truly an amazing experience! I have made it my life’s mission to ‘Pay it Forward’. After transplant, I started working for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society where I am able to use my wounds for good on a daily basis. My diagnoses was not in vain! To learn how you can help create a world without cancer, visit www.LLS.org and to join the Be The Match® registry, visit join.marrow.org

UC Davis researchers refine nanoparticles for more accurate delivery of cancer drugs:

By on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | No Comments

A new class of nanoparticles, synthesized by a UC Davis research team to prevent premature drug release, holds promise for greater accuracy and effectiveness in delivering cancer drugs to tumors. The work is published in the current issue of Angewandte Chemie, a leading international chemistry journal.

Columbia researchers study why cholesterol-lowering statins might treat cancer:

By on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | No Comments

Cholesterol-lowering statins seem to keep breast cancer at bay in some patients. Now researchers from Columbia University and collaborators in Norway are reporting in the January 20th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, provide clues about how statins might yield those unexpected benefits. The findings also suggest that mutations in a single gene could be used to identify tumors likely to respond to statin therapy.

Cell tracking allows Penn researchers to see metastasis of pancreatic cancer in action:

By on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | No Comments

University of Pennsylvania researchers have discovered that pancreatic cancer cells in an animal model begin to spread before clinically obvious tumor tissue is detected. What’s more, they showed that inflammation enhances cancer progression in part by facilitating a cellular transformation that leads to entry of cancer cells into the circulation. They report their findings this week in Cell.

Researchers use changes in the patterns of sugar molecules to detect cells before they develop into esophageal cancer:

By on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | No Comments

Scientists working at Britain’s Medical Research Council, in collaboration with researchers from New York University, have identified changes in the patterns of sugar molecules that line pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus, a condition called Barrett’s dysplasia, making it much easier to detect and remove these cells before they develop into esophageal cancer. These findings, reported in the journal Nature Medicine, have important implications for patients and may help to monitor their condition and prevent the development of cancer.

Inherited Mutation Links Exploding Chromosomes To Cancer

By on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | No Comments

An inherited mutation in a gene known as the guardian of the genome is likely the link between exploding chromosomes and some particularly aggressive types of cancer, scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ) and the University Hospital, all in Heidelberg, Germany, have discovered…
