Family of GENES linked to the development of liver cancer has been identified
Published 2008-04-12
|
| 
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at Stony Brook University Medical Center has identified a family of genes linked to the development of liver cancer. Principal Investigator Wadie F. Bahou, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Genetics, and colleagues discovered in a mouse model that the loss of one specific gene (Iqgap2) in this family causes Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). They also found that when another member of the gene family (Iqgap1) is turned on, a more aggressive form of the disease occurs.

Malfunctioning N-myc GENES are often associated with pediatric neural cancers
Published 2008-01-27
|
| 
A genetic discovery led by scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital helps answer a long-standing mystery about the eyes of vertebrates, and may translate into a deeper understanding of how genes coordinate the complex process of eye formation and how a rare pediatric eye cancer progresses.

New research shows that GENES can contribute to cancer in less obvious ways
Published 2008-01-21
|
| 
A team of U.S., Israeli and German scientists used computational biology techniques to discover 480 genes that play a role in human cell division and to identify more than 100 of those genes that have an abnormal pattern of activation in cancer cells.

Heart Damage From Chemotherapy Avoided by new identified protective GENES
Published 2007-12-12
|
|
A series of genes that protect cells from the powerful, common chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin has been identified by researchers working to understand how the drug also can destroy the heart.

Tumor-suppressor GENES Manipulation Lead To Cancer Resistant Mouse
Published 2007-12-11
|
| 
A mouse resistant to cancer, even highly-aggressive types, has been created by researchers at the University of Kentucky. The breakthrough stems from a discovery by UK College of Medicine professor of radiation medicine Vivek Rangnekar and a team of researchers who found a tumor-suppressor gene called "Par-4" in the prostate.

New identified imprinted GENES to offer clues to better disease prevention
Published 2007-12-11
|
| 
Scientists at Duke University have created the first map of imprinted genes throughout the human genome, and they say a modern-day Rosetta stone -- a form of artificial intelligence called machine learning -- was the key to their success. The study revealed four times as many imprinted genes as had been previously identified.

The GENES to help generate the differentiated cells
Published 2007-11-22
|
| 
A database that includes the molecular profiles of the major components of the blood system -- including the stem cells and the cells differentiated from them -- enabled researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston to identify at least two genes involved in the differentiation process for two different kinds of blood cells.

Four GENES are associated with breast cancer metastasis
Published 2007-04-25
|
| 
A new study of mice implanted with human breast cancer cells shows the spread of the disease to the lungs -- a common metastasis site -- is caused by the abnormal activation of four specific genes working together.

Certain GENES make chemotherapy drugs more potent at lower doses
Published 2007-04-15
|
| 
A new study shows certain genes may make some lung cancer patients more sensitive to chemotherapy. This is a good thing -- increased sensitivity in this case means lower doses of drug therapy work as good or better than higher doses.

New angioGENESis found
Published 2006-10-04
|
| 
This summer I had written a post about angiogenesis and Dr. Judith Folkman who had come up with the theory in the early sixties. Angiogenesis is a normal process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing. However, this is also the process that forms new blood vessels for cancer cells to survive and grow.

AngioGENESis and cancer growth
Published 2006-07-31
|
| 
One of the keys to finding a cure for cancer is to understand how cancer grows and spreads within the body. Angiogenesis is our body's ability to form new blood vessels. This is important and needed for the body to help heal wounds and is also a part of a woman's menstruation each month. Its function in our bodies is a positive thing most of the time.
