Digest This: Cure for Cancer May Live in Our Intestines
July 31, 2013 — Treating a cancerous tumor is like watering a houseplant with a fire hose -- too much water kills the plant, just as too much chemotherapy and radiation kills the patient before it kills the tumor. ... > full story -
Flexible Tail of the Prion Protein Poisons Brain Cells
July 31, 2013 — Prion proteins are the infectious pathogens that cause Mad Cow Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. They occur when a normal prion protein becomes deformed and clumped. The naturally occurring ... > full story -
Cross-Country Collaboration Leads to New Leukemia Model
July 31, 2013 — They were postdocs at Stanford when they first began considering the problem. Eight years later, and a continent apart, they found the ... > full story -
New Protein Discovered With Vast Potential for Treatment of Cancer and Other Diseases
July 31, 2013 — In cancer research, discovering a new protein that plays a role in cancer is like finding a key and a treasure map: follow the clues and eventually there could be a big reward. At least that's the ... > full story -

Scientists Analyze Genetic Makeup of Human and Mouse Embryos in Amazing Detail
July 31, 2013 — Scientists have used the powerful technology of single-cell RNA sequencing to track the genetic development of a human and a mouse embryo at an unprecedented level of accuracy. The success of this ... > full story -
Ancient Viruses That Function in Early Human Development May Play Role in Cancer
July 31, 2013 — Novel non-coding parts of the human genome known as vlincRNAs (very long intergenic, non-coding RNAs) triggered by ancient viruses, participate in the biology of stem cells, and in the development of ... > full story -
Naked Mole Rat's Secret to Staying Cancer Free
July 31, 2013 — Scientists have discovered the naked mole rat's unique mechanism to staying cancer free -- a super sugar called high-molecular-mass Hyaluronan (HMM-HA). When secreted by the naked mole rat's cells, ... > full story
