Osteoporosis Drug Bazedoxifene Stops Growth Of Breast Cancer Cells

Bazedoxifene, an osteoporosis medication which is approved in Europe, stops the growth of breast cancer cells, including those that are resistant to current medications, researchers from the Duke Cancer Institute reported at ENDO 2013 – The Endocrine Society’s Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California, June 15th, 2013…

Growth Of Aggressive Brain Cancer Driven By Metabolic Molecule

A study led by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) has identified an abnormal metabolic pathway that drives cancer-cell growth in a particular glioblastoma subtype…

Gene offers an athlete’s heart without the exercise

Researchers have found that a single gene poses a double threat to disease: Not only does it inhibit the growth and spread of breast tumors, but it also makes hearts healthier.

Pediatric PET Imaging Of Gliomas Gets A Boost With An Easier-To-Manufacture Imaging Agent

A relatively new weapon in the fight against childhood brain cancer has emerged that improves upon standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by providing information about tumor metabolism and extent of cancer in children diagnosed with glioma, a growth caused by the abnormal division of glial cells in the brain, say researchers at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular …

A Wide Variety Of Advanced Cancers Harbor Abnormalities In HER2 Gene

The HER2 growth-factor gene is known to be over-active in breast and gastro-esophageal cancers. But now, irregularities in the genes ‘s expression – among them mutations, amplifications, substitutions, and translocations – have been found in 14 different advanced solid tumors…

HER2 Abnormalities Found In Many Advanced Cancers

We already know that an over-active HER2 growth factor gene features in breast and gastric cancers. Now a new study reports finding mutations and other abnormalities of the gene in 14 different advanced cancers…

Targeting Cancer Cells Without Typical Side Effects Using New Ruthenium Complexes

A team of UT Arlington researchers has identified two ruthenium-based complexes they believe could pave the way for treatments that control cancer cell growth more effectively and are less toxic for patients than current chemotherapies…

Cholesterol sets off chaotic blood vessel growth

A new study has identified a protein that is responsible for regulating blood vessel growth by mediating the efficient removal of cholesterol from the cells. Unregulated development of blood vessels can feed the growth of tumors.

EGFR Prevents Maturation Of Cancer-Fighting MiRNAs When Oxygen Is Short

Even while being dragged to its destruction inside a cell, a cancer-promoting growth factor receptor fires away, sending signals that thwart the development of tumor-suppressing microRNAs (miRNAs) before it’s dissolved, researchers reported in an early online publication at Nature…
