Scientists build harness for powerful radiation cancer therapy

By on Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 | No Comments

We’ve all heard that “it’s not wise to use a cannon to kill a mosquito.” But what if you could focus the cannon’s power to concentrate power into a tiny space? In a new study, University of Missouri researchers have demonstrated the ability to harness powerful radioactive particles and direct them toward small cancer tumors while doing negligible … (more)

Enzyme Helps Drive Aggressive Prostate Cancer

By on Tuesday, December 18th, 2012 | No Comments

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Florida have discovered that an enzyme called PRSS3, or mesotrypsin, may help drive aggressive prostate cancer. Although they don’t believe it is the only factor, they suggest it offers a new target for treatment, and have themselves developed a prototype compound that inhibits the enzyme’s ability to promote the metastatic spread of the disease…
