...the levels of N-CoR, it can promote the associated proliferation and progression of breast cancer, as the balance of co-activators and co-repressors involved in normal gene transcription is altered. The findings may have sweeping implications. For one, the mechanisms at play could explain at least some of the mi...

Chocolate with its various forms is a darling of one and all. Some time back lot of talk was towards its health harms, but today lot of research pro...

Compounds Found In The Vegetable Broccoli Could Have Anti-Cancer Properties

...wth of cancer cells. The isothiocyanates decreased proliferation in all three-cell lines. The strongest effect was on the most aggressive of these lines – human invasive transitional cell carcinoma. The glucosinolates had no such effect, hence researchers are now investigating the mechanism for this anti-cancer ...

Understanding Chronic Infections May Help in Developing Therapeutic Vaccines

...ic vaccination, or a cytokine that might boost the proliferation or survival of responding cells. While Wherry's primary interest is in chronic infection, he notes that research in this area should inform the design of better therapeutic cancer vaccines as well because many of the deficiencies in immune response a...

Artificially made protein to inhibit angiogenesis

...n cancer called melanoma, reduced the blood vessel proliferation by up to two third of its growth. The protein is all set to stop vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) where it is produced. The new protein with its amino acid tail will stop the VEGF from leaving the site of production inside the cell, thereby ...

Understanding Gene Profiles Could Help Cure A Resistant Form Of Leukemia In Kids
