Restricting cancer metabolism could make oncolytic viruses more effective at attacking tumors

Restricting the ability of cancer cells to metabolise sugar could make oncolytic viruses more effective at attacking them, suggests a study published today in the journal Cancer Research.

Researchers examine the experiences of veterans receiving both cancer treatment and hospice care

Veterans Health Administration hospitals offer something Medicare does not: In some cases, treatments meant to alter the course of a disease can be offered along with hospice care.

Diets supplemented with extract of soursop leaves can prevent fibromyalgia symptoms

Researchers from the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Seville have recently published a study in which they state that diets supplemented with aqueous extract of Annona muricata L. leaves can prevent the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, so improving the lives of these patients.

New method could improve outcome of leukemia patients receiving stem-cell transplants

Stem-cell transplantation is an effective form of therapy to fight leukemia. In many cases, however, the transferred immune cells of the donor also attack the recipients' healthy tissue - often with fatal consequences.

Cryoablation shows potential as a treatment for low-risk breast cancer

Researchers at CentraState Medical Center have shown that cryoablation, also known as cryotherapy, could be an effective treatment for low-risk breast cancer.

Researchers regrow hair strands on damaged skin

By stirring crosstalk among skin cells that form the roots of hair, researchers report they have regrown hair strands on damaged skin. The findings better explain why hair does not normally grow on wounded skin, and may help in the search for better drugs to restore hair growth, say the study's authors.

Mailing at-home HPV tests may be viable approach for screening hard-to-reach women

Screening women for HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a promising way to help detect cervical cancer early, but many at-risk women go without screening for the virus and without Pap tests that look for abnormal cells on the cervix.

Two types of cellular asymmetry govern shaping of cells into sheets and tubes

Scientists have developed a mathematical model showing that two types of cellular asymmetry, or 'polarity', govern the shaping of cells into sheets and tubes, according to an article in eLife.

UNLV researchers suggest new way to classify negative symptoms of schizophrenia

The onset of schizophrenia in young adults can put an immediate halt to life goals, with one set of symptoms being particularly debilitating.

UT Southwestern researchers discover enzyme that promotes tumor growth

UT Southwestern researchers have found that an enzyme on the surface of some lung cancer cells helps feed the cancer, making it a tempting treatment target.

Scientists visualize action of immune cells in response to cancer cell proliferation

As tumors develop, they evolve genetically. How does the immune system act when faced with tumor cells? How does it exert pressure on the genetic diversity of cancer cells? Scientists from the Institut Pasteur and Inserm used in vivo video techniques and cell-specific staining to visualize the action of immune cells in response to the proliferation of cancer cells.

MGH researchers use advanced imaging technology to measure magnetite levels in the brain

Investigators at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital have used magnetoencephalography - a technology that measures brain activity by detecting the weak magnetic fields produced by the brain's normal electrical currents - to measure levels of the iron-based mineral called magnetite in the human brain.
