Melanoma is a particularly deadly form of skin cancer very resistant to treatment. Researchers at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of South Florida are testing a promising new therapy that prompts the immune system to aid in the fight against melanoma tumors. "This is a milestone clinical trial because it is the first time that electroporation is bei...Advanced genomics and proteomics improve the diagnosis and treatment of a deadly lung disease
A team of Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) scientists has peeled back some of the mystery of how cells are able to turn off genes selectively to control critical events of development. The new insights arise from the first clear molecular images of the structure of Dicer, an enzyme that enables cells to dissect genetic material precisely. The finding, which is reported in the January...HT 96/200 Advanced Electroporation System from BTX

The agr...Innovative device aids in advanced heart failure
A mesh jacket positioned around the heart improves function in patients with advanced heart failure. Researchers at the University of New York felt that in heart failure, the heart enlarges and is unable to effectively pump blood around the body.// Commonly, the heart valves are damaged too. Heart failure is a progressive condition, with no cure other than a transplant - although it can be manage...Advanced STD programs required
There is always a question of how effective are programs intended to reduce the number of people with sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. That is the question researchers from Scotland set out to answer in a study reported //in this month's Archives of Internal Medicine. The answer they come up with is, essentially, that it'sdiifficult to say. More than 1,500 studies were g...Light therapy devotes new hope in advanced lung cancer
Light therapy given during surgery extends survival time in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Life expectancy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is often measured only in months, for the disease is very hard to treat, especially when it has spread// to the chest wall. In a new approach, doctors at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, have tried photodynamic therapy (PDT)...Hope For Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer
A recent study identified a specific gene that’s responsible for controlling the activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule ( ALCAM ), which plays a role in helping // cells stay clumped together. The gene is less active in aggressive tumors than in normal breast tissue or tumors that don’t result in a spreading of the disease. Researchers speculate less activity on the part of ALCAM allows tumor...Race an important links to the risk of advanced colorectal cancer
For the first time an interesting report looks at the relationship between racial subgroups and colorectal cancer // outcome. This report is to appear in the August 1, 2005 issue of CANCER. Colorectal cancer is a common cancer responsible for causing up to 11 percent of all cancer-related deaths in the United States . The Prognosis of the cancer is dependent on the stage of disease a...Immulite 2000 Advanced Immunoassay System
