New study illuminates dark side of p53 gene in cancer

The gene p53 is the most commonly mutated gene in cancer - it is p53's job to monitor cells for DNA damage and to mark damaged cells for destruction and so cancer cells with mutated DNA must disable p53 before it disables them.

Extreme short and long telomeres linked to increased cancer risk

The length of the telomere "caps" of DNA that protect the tips of chromosomes may predict cancer risk and be a potential target for future therapeutics, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute scientists will report today at the AACR Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.

Light environment in intensive care affects how patients feel, research shows

New research shows that the light environment in intensive care affects how patients feel - even a year after completed hospitalization. With light adapted to the time of day, health even improves for patients who are barely conscious when they are admitted for care.

Study shows how the amount that babies cry varies around the world

According to a new study by the University of Warwick, newborns cry the most in Britain, Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands compared with the rest of the countries in the world.

Research unravels how cytokines prevent multi-organ damage during parasitic infection

Cytokines are proteins secreted by several types of immune cells in response to infection, inflammation, or injury. Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is one such cytokine that causes inflammation, by controlling the production of other cytokines and mobilizing a type of white blood cell (neutrophil) that fights infections.
