Treating Kaposi Sarcoma Using A Sugar-Free Approach

A sugar-loving protein drives the growth of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) tumors, according to a study published in The Journal of Experimental Medicine. Interfering with these sugary interactions inhibited growth of Kaposi sarcomas in mice, hinting at the potential for new treatment strategies in humans…

Dual Effect On Tumor Blood Vessels

As soon as they have grown to pinhead size, tumors rely on the formation of new blood vessels – a process which is scientifically called angiogenesis. Interfering with this process (antiangiogenesis) is considered to be a promising approach in cancer medicine…

Link between inflammation and breast cancer metastases identified, may be treatable

The incidence of breast cancer-associated metastasis was increased in animal models of the chronic inflammatory condition arthritis, according to results of a preclinical study. The results indicate that inflammatory cells known as mast cells play a key role in this increase and that interfering with mast cells reduces the occurrence of bone and lung metastases.

No workout? No worries: Scientists prevent muscle loss in mice, despite disease and inactivity

If you want big muscles without working out, there’s hope. Scientists report a family of protein transcription factors, called “Forkhead (Fox0),” that plays a significant role in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass. Interfering with Fox0 prevented muscle wasting associated with cancer and sepsis, and even promoted muscle growth. This is likely relevant to any disease, condition or lifestyle that leads to muscle wasting.

Researchers block morphine’s itchy side effect

Itching is one of the most prevalent side effects of powerful, pain-killing drugs like morphine, oxycodone and other opioids. Now in mice, researchers have shown they can control opioid-induced itching without interfering with a drug’s ability to relieve pain.

A step toward a saliva test for cancer

A new saliva test can measure the amount of potential carcinogens stuck to a person’s DNA — interfering with the action of genes involved in health and disease — and could lead to a commercial test to help determine risks for cancer and other diseases, scientists report.
