Protein abundant in cancerous cells causes DNA ‘supercoiling’

By on Tuesday, March 12th, 2013 | No Comments

A team of scientists has identified a protein that can change DNA topology, making DNA twist up into a so-called “supercoil.” The finding provides new insight about the role of the protein — known as mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) — in cancer cells, which have high levels of MCM.

Study uncovers enzyme’s double life, critical role in cancer blood supply

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

Studied for decades for their essential role in making proteins within cells, several amino acids known as tRNA synthetases were recently found to have an unexpected — and critical — additional role in cancer metastasis. Researchers determined that threonyl tRNA synthetase leads a “double life,” regulating a pathway used by invasive cancers to induce the formation of new blood vessels, and a new food supply to sustain their growth.

Breast Cancer Stem Cells Express HER2, Even In ‘Negative’ Tumors, Study Finds

By on Thursday, February 28th, 2013 | No Comments

New research from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center finds that the protein HER2 plays a role even in breast cancers that would traditionally be categorized as HER2-negative – and that the drug Herceptin, which targets HER2, may have an even greater role for treating breast cancer and preventing its spread.

Protein that may control the spread of cancer discovered

By on Wednesday, February 27th, 2013 | No Comments

Researchers have uncovered a novel mechanism that may lead to more selective ways to stop cancer cells from spreading. Cancer biologists have identified the role of the protein RSK2 in cancer cell migration, part of the process of cancer metastasis.

Underlying mechanisms behind chronic inflammation-associated diseases revealed

By on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 | No Comments

Inflammatory response plays a major role in both health protection and disease generation. While the symptoms of disease-related inflammatory response have been know, scientists have not understood the mechanisms that underlie it. In new research, scientists mapped the complex interactions of proteins that control inflammation at the molecular level.

QIMR researchers finding prostate cancer treatments thanks to the Rio Tinto Ride to Conquer Cancer

By on Wednesday, February 20th, 2013 | No Comments

In Australia, 20000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed each year, and 3000 men die from the disease annually. If detected early, prostate cancer can be treated with surgery and/or radiotherapy. But when the cancer has spread, treatment options are limited. There is an urgent need for new molecular targets for late stage treatments. Eph and ephrin proteins are already know to play a role in cancers like leukaemia, glioma and ovarian cancer and clinical trials targeting the Eph protein EphA3 in leukaemia are underway. This research team will use their Rio Tinto Ride to Conquer Cancer grant to further investigate the role of these proteins in late stage prostate cancer, with a long-term view to developing new targets and treatments.
