 | | |  Study shows promise for future prostate cancer treatment A new 'seek-and-destroy' gene therapeutic system could have the potential to treat prostate cancer in the future, after it halted the majority of tumors in laboratory models at the University of Strathclyde and the Beatson Institute. | |

| | |  Researchers have discovered how a gene involved in regulating hormone receptors may contribute to drug resistance in some prostate cancer patients. Their findings, published in eLife, suggest that disrupting specific activity of the GREB1 gene could be explored for developing more effective therapies in future. | | | | |  Experts from the Universities of Bath and Seville have carried out a series of experiments with which, for the first time, they have been able to characterize the normal electrical activity in PC-3 prostate cancer cells in real time, with a resulting low-frequency electrical pattern between 0.1 and 10 Hertz. | | | | |  A Rutgers study has found that a specific gene in cancerous prostate tumors indicates when patients are at high-risk for the cancer to spread, suggesting that targeting this gene can help patients live longer. | | | | |  Professor Fahri Saatcioglu at University of Oslo's Department of Biosciences (IBV) heads a research group investigating how androgens - male sex hormones - affect the risk of being affected by prostate cancer. | |
