Optical Imaging Added To Ultrasound To Improve Imaging Of Breast Cancer

...n each lesion. A high density of microvessels in a tumor is known to be highly correlated with malignancy. It was found that early-stage invasive cancers have a two-fold higher total hemoglobin concentration compared with benign lesions, the findings which demonstrate that the technique has great potenti...

Chronic Pain Syndrome May Be In The Genes

...ed in certain abnormal cell divisions that lead to tumor formation, including breast cancer. Cells depleted of SEPT9 often fail to complete normal cell division. HNA is the first genetic disease found to be caused by a mutation in a gene of the septin family. According to the authors of the SEPT9 gene mut...

Synthetic protein found to relieve arthritis symptoms in animal model

... key promoter of inflammation is a chemical called tumor necrosis factor alpha- TNF-alpha). Moreover, it also appeared to inhibit disease symptoms in mice with established as well as acute arthritis. The scientists did not detect any obvious toxicity in the PLAD-treated mice. The scientist’s next aim is ...

Monoclonal antibodies show promise in treatment of blood cancer

...clonal antibody prevented the appearance of tissue tumor circulating cells for seven weeks. In contrast untreated mice died in three weeks. "We were actually quite shocked at how effectively CD19 mAb-treatments prevented malignant B cell expansion," said Tedder. "Treatment of such tumors in mouse models is...

Curcumin found to halt spread of breast cancer in mice

... combination inhibited the growth of breast cancer tumor cells that were in the lung before the tumors were removed. "We are excited about the results of the study and the possible implications for taking the findings into the clinic in the next several years," says Bharat Aggarwal, Ph.D., professor of ca...

Researchers Identify Sipa 1 Gene, Responsible For Cancer Metastasis

...monary metastases from a highly metastatic mammary tumor cell line. Conversely, over expression of the FVB allele increased the numbers of pulmonary metastases. Analysis of human tumors also demonstrated that over expression of SIPA1 is associated with metastatic progression. The results demonstrate that ...
