Gene-Modified Stem Cells Help Protect Bone Marrow from Toxic Side Effects of Chemotherapy
May 20, 2011 — Although chemotherapy is used to kill cancer cells, it can also have a strong toxic effect on normal cells such as bone marrow and blood cells. Researchers report that one possible approach to reduce ... > full story -
Scientists Discover Way to Amp Up Power of Killer T Cells to Fight Melanoma
May 10, 2011 — Researchers have discovered a way to amp up the power of killer T-cells, called CD8 cells, making them more functional for longer periods of time and boosting their ability to multiply and expand ... > full story -
Key Gene Found in Childhood Cancer
May 5, 2011 — Scientists have identified the Aurora A gene -- which is vital for tumor growth and known to be expressed at higher-than-normal levels in many cancers -- as a target for potential therapies for ... > full story -
Molecule Nutlin-3a Activates a Signal Inducing Cell Death and Senescence in Primary Brain Tumors
April 20, 2011 — Researchers have found that a small molecule, Nutlin-3a, an antagonist of MDM2 protein, stimulates the signaling pathway of another protein, p53. By this way, it induces cell death and senescence ... > full story -
Exploiting the Stress Response to Detonate Mitochondria in Cancer Cells
April 19, 2011 — Researchers have found a new way to force cancer cells to self-destruct. Low doses of a drug that disrupts mitochondria allows a second drug to push the cell toward apoptosis, or programmed cell ... > full story -
