Scientists identify molecule that regulates well-known tumor suppressor
Scientists have discovered that a molecule called DJ-1 is likely to be involved in the generation of human tumors through negative regulation of the well-known tumor suppressor, PTEN. The research, published in the March issue of Cancer Cell, has important implications for determining the prognosis of some human cancers, and may prove to be a suitable target for cancer therapy. The phospha...Anti cancer virotherapy well tolerated in first human administration, research finds

According to a new study, researchers suggest that the presence of proteins linked to inflammation could increase the risk of stroke among men with high blood pressure. Although we know that high blood pressure is a risk factor for stroke, //it's still the case that not everyone with hypertension actually suffers a stroke. Researchers at Malmo University, Sweden, believe that inflammation...Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer Tolerated Well by Elderly Patients
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center treated 33 prostate cancer patients, over age 80, with external beam radiation therapy. // Patients received the same radiation doses that patients in their 50s and 60s receive. Results of the study show the elderly patients had a five-year survival rate of more than 60 percent. Researchers say these patients experienced no unu...Acupuncture May Well Be The Next Cure For High Blood Pressure
