Newly Identified Tumor Suppressor Provides Therapeutic Target for Prostate Cancer
April 1, 2013 Researchers have found that the enzyme PKCzeta controls the activation of a pro-tumor gene called c-Myc. Normally, PKCzeta's alteration keeps c-Myc in check. But PKCzeta levels are low in prostate ... > full story -
Researchers First to Use Common Virus to 'Fortify' Adult Stem Cells
April 1, 2013 Using the same strategy that a common virus employs to evade the human immune system, researchers have modified adult stem cells to increase their survival -- with the goal of giving the cells time ... > full story -
Crucial Step in Human DNA Replication Observed for the First Time
April 1, 2013 An elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been observed, for the first time, by scientists. The step, which is crucial for DNA replication in humans and other forms of life, had ... > full story -
'RNA Sponge' Mechanism May Cause ALS/FTD Neurodegeneration
April 1, 2013 The most common genetic cause of both ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and FTD (frontotemporal dementia) was recently identified as an alteration in the gene C9orf72. But how the mutation causes ... > full story -
New Drug Target Companion Prognostic Test for Hormone Therapy Resistance
April 1, 2013 A team of international cancer researchers has identified the signalling pathway that is over-activated in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells that are resistant to hormone therapies such ... > full story -
Loss of Tumor Suppressor SPOP Releases Cancer Potential of SRC-3
April 1, 2013 Mutations in a protein called SPOP disarm it, allowing another protein called steroid receptor coactivator-3 to encourage the proliferation and spread of prostate cancer cells, researchers ... > full story
