Gene Discovery Could Improve Treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
August 13, 2012 — Scientists have made a discovery involving mice and humans that could mean that people with acute myeloid leukemia, a usually fatal cancer, are a step closer to new treatment ... > full story -
Blood Cancer Cells Initiate Signalling Cascade
August 13, 2012 — Scientists have uncovered how pathological cells activate themselves in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. They have identified a new mechanism that causes immune cells to convert into malignant cancer ... > full story -
Tumor Cells' Inner Workings Predict Cancer Progression
July 27, 2012 — Using a new assay method to study tumor cells, researchers have found evidence of clonal evolution in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The assay method distinguishes features of leukemia cells ... > full story -
Solving the Mystery of How Cigarette Smoking Weakens Bones
July 26, 2012 — Almost 20 years after scientists first identified cigarette smoking as a risk factor for osteoporosis and bone fractures, a new study is shedding light on exactly how cigarette smoke weakens bones. ... > full story -
Bone Marrow Transplant Eliminates Signs of HIV Infection
July 26, 2012 — Two men with longstanding HIV infections no longer have detectable HIV in their blood cells following bone marrow transplants. The virus was easily detected in blood lymphocytes of both men prior to ... > full story -
Key Function of Protein Discovered for Obtaining Blood Stem Cells as Source for Transplants
July 25, 2012 — Researchers have deciphered the function executed by a protein called b-catenin in generating blood tissue stem cells. These cells are used as a source for transplants that form part of the therapies ... > full story -
Hundreds of Random Mutations in Leukemia Linked to Aging, Not Cancer
July 19, 2012 — Hundreds of mutations exist in leukemia cells at the time of diagnosis, but nearly all occur randomly as a part of normal aging and are not related to cancer, new research ... > full story -
Stress Fuels Breast Cancer Metastasis to Bone
July 17, 2012 — Stress can promote breast cancer cell colonization of bone, investigators have discovered. The studies demonstrate in mice that activation of the sympathetic nervous system -- the "fight-or-flight" ... > full story -
Mutation in Gene IDH a Possible Target for AML Treatment
July 13, 2012 — Though the IDH gene seems far removed from cancer, mutation in the gene starts a cascade that predicts an aggressive form of AML. Doctors may be able to target this mutation for ... > full story -
Transcription Factor Lyl-1 Critical in Producing Early T-Cell Progenitors
July 8, 2012 — A transcription factor called Lyl-1 is necessary for production of the earliest cells that can become T-cells, critical cells born in the thymus that coordinate the immune response to cancer or ... > full story
