Researcher uncovers details of how cancer spreads

...rchers used a protein called v-Src derived from an oncogenic virus, which has the ability to transform a normal cell into one with many features resembling those found in cancer cells. While this virus has not been found in humans, it does lead to tumor growth in chickens and created cancerous cells in the cul...

New human retrovirus originated in mice

... likely to clear it. Clearly XMRV is not a classic oncogenic virus." Nevertheless, said Ganem, an indirect link to cancer cannot be ruled out, since "in cancer research these days, there is a lot of interest in the stroma as the soil in which cancer arises." He added that the chronic inflammation from infecti...

Gene first linked to rare disease may trigger skin cancer, other tumors

...some forms of leukemia. That modification bars the oncogenic protein's entry into the cell nucleus, the central command center and storehouse for DNA, where it would otherwise drive the uncontrolled increase in cell numbers characteristic of tumor growth. The researchers first showed that mice lacking CYLD we...

Higher risk for cervical cancer seen among women infected with multiple HPV types

... 58, which the new study discovered to be far more oncogenic than others when found in co-infections with other HPV types. The study's findings suggest HPV 58 should be one of the targets of the next generation of cervical cancer vaccines. Indeed, the scientists discovered that the higher risk associated wit...
