Micro-RNAs appear to play a key role in new mechanism underlying obesity

Max Planck researchers have discovered a new mechanism that leads to the development of type 2 diabetes in obesity. Body weight influences the risk of developing diabetes: between 80 and 90 percent of patients with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese.

Insight into bowel cancer

Stem cells in the intestine, which when they mutate can lead to bowel cancers, might also be grown into transplant tissues to combat the effects of those same cancers, the UK National Stem Cell Network annual science meeting will hear today.

Researchers characterize novel form of ubiquitin regulatory protein

Researchers at the Proteome Center Tuebingen characterize a novel form of the regulatory protein ubiquitin, involved in inflammation and cell death.

Towards accurate simulation of whole working cells

Researchers have built a computer model of the crowded interior of a bacterial cell that - in a test of its response to sugar in its environment - accurately simulates the behavior of living cells.

mtm’s p16 and Ki-67 dual staining test identifies high-grade cervical disease in women with ASC-US and LSIL

mtm laboratories, a privately held diagnostics company developing, manufacturing and globally commercializing in vitro diagnostics for cervical cancer early detection and diagnosis, today announced the publication of a new paper showing that dual staining for p16 and Ki-67 can pinpoint the underlying high-grade cervical disease with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity in women with ASC-US or LSIL cytology results.

Study finds frequent anaemia in patients with chronic respiratory failure

A study of nearly 600 patients with severe non-inflammatory respiratory disease has found that a significant percentage also suffered from anaemia, according to the April issue of IJCP, the International Journal of Clinical Practice.

Two new studies on cancer

Last year, a research team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discovered one way the protein Tet 1 helps stem cells keep their pluripotency-the unique ability to become any cell type in the body.

Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine create Texas Children's Center for Global Health

Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) today announced the creation of the Texas Children's Center for Global Health and the appointment of renowned physician-scientist Dr. Russell E. Ware as director.

Master regulators of cholesterol and fat play key role in liver fibrosis development

UCLA researchers have demonstrated that a key regulator of cholesterol and fat metabolism in the liver also plays an important role in the development of liver fibrosis - the build-up of collagen scar tissue that can develop into cirrhosis. Cirrhosis, in turn, is a major cause of premature death and is incurable without a liver transplant.

Positive outcomes from imatinib trial in both older and younger patients with CML

While the median age at diagnosis for chronic myeloid leukemia is over 60 years old and incidence increases dramatically with age,limited data are available about the long-term outcome for older patients treated with imatinib, the standard first-line therapy used to treat CML.

Glasgow Professor discusses about new approach for CML treatment at UK conference

Speaking at the UK National Stem Cell Network conference in York later today, Professor Tessa Holyoake from the University of Glasgow will discuss a brand new approach to treating chronic myeloid leukaemia in which a small number of cancer cells persist despite effective therapy thus preventing cure.

Top-line results from Biomoda's CyPath pilot study against lung cancer

Cancer diagnostics company Biomoda, Inc. today announced top-line results of its pilot study for lung cancer which shows highly significant evidence of CyPath's ability to discriminate between cancer and non-cancer groups based on sputum samples collected in a non-invasive manner.

CEL-SCI to initiate Multikine Phase III trial against head and neck cancer in Israel

CEL-SCI Corporation announced today that the State of Israel's Ministry of Health has given approval to begin enrollment of subjects for a Phase III clinical trial of Multikine in Israel.

Researchers identify drug candidate that can treat prostate cancer

The best way to prevent the lethal spread of prostate cancer is by stopping cancer cell invasion of other tissues. Available treatments such as chemotherapy are toxic and can often be risky for older men, who are also most likely to get prostate cancer.

Regular CT scans can cause secondary malignancies in older men with testicular cancer

UC Davis cancer researchers have found that older men with early-stage testicular cancer who opt for surveillance with regular CT scans over lymph node removal are at greater risk for secondary cancers.

3D experiments reveal MSCs have potential to produce different cell types

A type of adult stem cell is now proving itself more versatile for research and therapies thanks to revolutionary 3D experiments. These cells have already shown great promise for repairing damaged bone and cartilage but until now have been fairly limited in the types of cells they can form in the laboratory.
