Two government-issued studies are unable to demonstrate whether people were harmed by groundwater contaminated with toxic pollutants from Area B of Fort Detrick, Md., says a new report by the National Research Council...
Improving The Effectiveness Of Chemotherapy
3/07/2012
Researchers from the University of Zurich have found a cellular brake that protects cancer cells from chemotherapy - and they demonstrate which medication can be used to render it inoperative. Their study published in the journal Natural Structural and Molecular Biology provides the molecular basis for promising therapeutic advances...
New Advance In Body 'Chemical Switch' Study has implications for strokes, heart Attacks
3/07/2012
'We have the first realistic insight into how a switch linked to blood-clotting, and therefore connected to strokes and heart-attacks, is operated' - lead researcher Richard Evans. Scientists investigating a 'biochemical switch' linked to strokes and heart disease claim to have made an advance in understanding how it is 'turned on'...

New Guidance For Colorectal Cancer Screening
3/06/2012
Colorectal cancer is seen as the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, for both men and women, in the United States. With that in mind, the American College of Physicians (ACP) has published a new guidance statement in the Annals of Internal Medicine, in regards to conducting colorectal cancer screenings...
Combination Therapy May Fight Cancer Better
3/06/2012
According to a study published February 29, online in the journal PLoS One, cancer cells appear to be protected from "cell-suicide" by a molecule found at elevated levels in the cancer cells. Normally "cell-suicide" is activated by radiation or chemotherapy...
