New method for predicting cancer virulence

By on Friday, May 24th, 2013 | No Comments

A new way of tackling cancer and predicting tumor virulence are has been reported by a team of researchers. The scientists have shown that, in all cancers, an aberrant activation of numerous genes specific to other tissues occurs. For example, in lung cancers, the tumorous cells express genes specific to the production of spermatozoids, which should be silent.

Radioactive Nanoparticles Developed That Target Cancer Cells

By on Friday, May 24th, 2013 | No Comments

Cancers of all types become most deadly when they metastasize and spread tumors throughout the body. Once cancer has reached this stage, it becomes very difficult for doctors to locate and treat the numerous tumors that can develop. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have found a way to create radioactive nanoparticles that target lymphoma tumor cells wherever they may be in the body…

When oxygen is short, EGFR prevents maturation of cancer-fighting miRNAs

By on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 | No Comments

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 before it’s dissolved, researchers have reported.

Genomic analysis lends insight to prostate cancer

By on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 | No Comments

Researchers have used next generation genomic analysis to determine that some of the more aggressive prostate cancer tumors have similar genetic origins, which may help in predicting cancer progression.

Fighting Ovarian Cancer With Gold Nanoparticles

By on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 | No Comments

Positively charged gold nanoparticles are usually toxic to cells, but cancer cells somehow manage to avoid nanoparticle toxicity. Mayo Clinic researchers found out why and determined how to make the nanoparticles effective against ovarian cancer cells. The discovery is detailed in the current online issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry…

Inflammatory bowel disease raises risk of melanoma

By on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 | No Comments

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at higher risk of melanoma, a form of skin cancer, report researchers at Mayo Clinic. Researchers found that IBD is associated with a 37 percent greater risk for the disease. The findings were presented at the Digestive Disease Week 2013 conference in Orlando, Fla.

NIH researchers conduct first genomic survey of human skin fungal diversity; Location on the body surface determines fungal composition with the greatest diversity on feet

By on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 | No Comments

Fungal infections of the skin affect 29 million people in the United States. In the first study of human fungal skin diversity, National Institutes of Health researchers sequenced the DNA of fungi that thrive at different skin sites of healthy adults to define the normal populations across the skin topography and to provide a framework for investigating fungal skin conditions.
