Loosen leash on cancer protein 'watchdog,' researchers say
Scientists may have found a way to keep a protein "watchdog" on high alert to stop hereditary cancers from overrunning our bodies - if they can keep it on a leash of just the right length. In a collaborative effort, a team of scientists including Purdue University's Susan M. Mendrysa has found that one of the proteins found naturally in cells has the ability to halt the progression of inte...Loosen up, DNA: Leukemia gene changes genetic packaging
A signaling system involved in many forms of leukemia and lymphoma is more powerful than scientists have thought, exerting control over our genes by affecting whole swaths of chromosomes in global fashion, according to a paper in the September issue of Nature Genetics and appearing online August 6. While the research involving a cellular signaling system known as JAK/STAT focused on compl...Doyle urges Senate to loosen stem cell restrictions
