A revolutionary X-ray analytical technique that enables researchers at a glance to identify structural similarities and differences between multiple proteins under a variety of conditions has been developed by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab)...
Breast Implants Can Hinder Breast Cancer Survival In Women
5/01/2013
Cosmetic breast implants may hinder survival in women who later develop breast cancer, according to a new small study published in BMJ. The authors suggest that these results be interpreted with caution because some of the twelve studies that were looked into did not adjust for a number of confounding elements...
Prognostic RNA Markers Identified In A Common Form Of Breast Cancer
5/01/2013
A Big-Data analysis that integrates three large sets of genomic data available through The Cancer Genome Atlas has identified 37 RNA molecules that might predict survival in patients with the most common form of breast cancer. The study by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J...

Studying The Effect Of Stem Cell Therapy On Cancer
4/30/2013
Injection of human stem cells into mice with tumors slowed down tumor growth, finds research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), isolated from bone marrow, caused changes in blood vessels supplying the tumor, and it is this modification of blood supply which seems to impact tumor growth...
Cardio Could Hold Key To Cancer Cure
4/30/2013
Regular exercise has been proven to reduce the chance of developing liver cancer in a world-first mice study that carries hope for patients at risk from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The research announced at the International Liver Congress(TM) 2013 involved two groups of mice fed a control diet and a high fat diet then divided into separate exercise and sedentary groups...
Collaboration Of Researchers In The Physical And Biological Sciences Target Metastatic Cancer
4/30/2013
Cancer cells that can break out of a tumor and invade other organs are more aggressive and nimble than nonmalignant cells, according to a new multi-institutional nationwide study. These cells exert greater force on their environment and can more easily maneuver small spaces...
