New Findings In Breast Cancer

...abolism is equally crucial in the promotion of the proliferation and metastasis of cancer tumors." Tremblay said. An article published by the same group of researchers in Science in 1999 showed that suppressing the enzyme produced by the gene PTP1b made it possible to cure type II diabetes and obesity. A lar...

Immune System Gears Up by Specific Enzymes

New Strategy for the Treatment of CML

...ng this pathway, PD184352 reduces the survival and proliferation in numerous tumor types, including leukemia cells. The team found that combining extremely low concentrations of dasatinib with PD184352 resulted in a dramatic increase in apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in association with inactivation of multi...

Stem Cells In Brain Have Potential For Sensing Damage And To Repair

...n their environment that leads to their subsequent proliferation to help restore local tissue integrity.' In this study, mice, genetically engineered to have holes in a region of their brain, recovered due to the work of stem cells in the area. The next step is to determine how these stem cells sense damage an...

Anti-Cancer Drug Shows Early Promise in Pulmonary Hypertension

...he chemical signals that can trigger both cellular proliferation and new blood vessel growth, Gomberg-Maitland and colleagues suspected it might slow the growth and thickening of the pulmonary artery walls. To test this theory they treated rats at high risk for pulmonary hypertension with sorafenib. The research...

The main clue from the present invention is that a composition comprising a garlic organosulphur compound together with an anti-cancer ag...

Artificial Liver from Cord Blood Stem cells

...babies. These stem cells were subjected to rapid proliferation by placing in a “bioreactor” developed by NASA. These cells were then induced to convert into liver tissue by the addition of certain hormones and chemicals. This was the first time that liver tissue had been generated from cord blood stem cells, u...

Cigarette Smoking Impedes Tendon-to-Bone Healing

...esearchers also noted that there was less cellular proliferation in the rats' surgically repaired shoulders and decreased collagen production, leading to inferior healing.
