Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have identified several genetic changes in the brains of mice caused by ethanol, which may help researchers better understand how and why people become addicted to alcohol. . .. Researchers isolated tissue from three different...VCU study shows hormone-like molecule kills cells that cause inflammation in allergic disease
Virginia Commonwealth University immunologists studying mast cells, known to play a central role in asthma and allergic disease, have identified a hormone-like molecule that can kill these cells by programming them to die in studies with mice. . .. In the Journal of Immunology, published online Aug. 23, researchers demonstrated the means by which a c...VCU Massey Cancer Center study shows enzyme linked to spread of breast cancer cells
Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center have found a new signaling component that influences movement of human breast cancer cells toward epidermal growth factor. . .. "If we understo...VCU Massey Cancer Center researchers identify a new class of anti-cancer drugs based on platinum
Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University's Massey Cancer Center have created a new platinum-based, anti-cancer agent able to overcome acquired drug resistance by first modifying the way it is absorbed into cancer cells and then attacking the DNA of those cancer cells. . .. In the Dec. 26 issue of the journal Inorganic Chemistry researchers reported on the design...
