Researchers identify possible treatment targets for myelodysplasia syndromes

Cincinnati Children's researchers report in Nature Immunology a new mechanism that controls blood cell function and several possible molecular targets for treating myelodysplasia syndromes (MDS) - a group of pre-malignant disorders in which bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells.

Scientists unravel novel role of signalling protein in common type of liver cancer

The most common type of liver cancer, called Hepatocellular carcinoma, is one of the most prevalent tumours worldwide.

Research finds differences in cell migration between normal and malignant tumor cells

What makes cancer so deadly is its ability to move . The better that doctors can keep tumors contained and protect unaffected organs in the body, the less lethal a cancer will be.

New X-ray imaging technology holds potential for life-saving uses in security and healthcare

An exciting X-ray imaging technology has been successfully developed to the point where it is now ready for translation into all kinds of beneficial applications, including potentially life-saving uses in security and healthcare.

New graphene system can detect activity levels of interfaced normal and cancer cells

What can't graphene do? You can scratch "detect cancer" off of that list. By interfacing brain cells onto graphene, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have shown they can differentiate a single hyperactive cancerous cell from a normal cell, pointing the way to developing a simple, noninvasive tool for early cancer diagnosis.

New ultrasensitive detection system of in-flow microRNAs uses encoded microgels

Single-stranded, noncoding micro-ribonucleic acids, consisting of 18-23 nucleotides, play a key role in regulating gene expression.

How to stay safe in the sun

When choosing a sunscreen, you must first consider what you will be doing when wearing it, for example if you're running, the sunscreen you choose must be able to withstand sweating.

Researchers develop new method to identify antigens for cancer treatment

New cancer therapies harness the immune system to fight tumors. One of the main principles behind these therapies is to find out precisely which molecules on cancer cells trigger an immune response.

Researchers identify attractive drug candidate to target glioma tumors

In a paper published today in Cancer Research, researchers: 1) identify a biomarker enzyme associated with aggressive glioma brain tumors, 2) reveal the regulatory mechanism for that enzyme, and 3) demonstrate potent efficacy, using a mouse model of glioma, for a small molecule inhibitor they have developed.

Research findings could offer novel approach for cancer prevention in women with BRCA1 mutations

Women with inherited mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at substantially higher risk of breast cancer. For these women, effective prevention strategies are their best hope to reduce their breast cancer risk.

Researchers use patient prostate tissue to create new model for cancer research

For the first time, researchers have been able to grow, in a lab, both normal and primary cancerous prostate cells from a patient, and then implant a million of the cancer cells into a mouse to track how the tumor progresses.

New data reveals significant correlation between OA breast imaging results and histologic data of breast masses

Seno Medical Instruments, Inc., the company pioneering the development of opto-acoustic (OA) technology as a new tool to improve the process of diagnosing breast cancer, today announced results from two analyses of the company's European MAESTRO post-market surveillance study.
