Blocking Mutant RNA Cures Huntington's Disease in Mouse Model
Researchers seeking ways to treat Huntington's disease have suggested going after the messenger RNA that mediates between the mutant gene that causes the disease and the toxic protein that causes the neurological damage that characterizes it. More...23 Nov 2016
Mitochondrial Protein Linked to Development of Prostate Cancer
Results obtained from experiments with genetically engineered mouse models revealed a direct link between the mitochondrial chaperone protein, TRAP1 (TNF receptor associated protein 1) and the development of prostate cancer. More...23 Nov 2016
Macrophages Form Vascular Mimicry Channels to Supply Growing Tumors
A potential new therapeutic approach to block cancer development is based on the finding that macrophages form primitive non-endothelial “vessels” or vascular mimicry channels that help supply growing tumors with oxygen and nutrients. More...22 Nov 2016
Modified T-Cells Attack Tumors without Triggering Autoimmune Disease
A team of molecular immunologists has devised a method to direct T-cells to recognize and fight cancer cells without risk of the modified cells attacking normal tissues and thereby triggering autoimmune disease. More...22 Nov 2016
Experimental Monobody Drug Inhibits Most Mutated RAS Oncogenes
A novel monobody drug candidate was found to effectively block the action of most of the RAS family of proto-oncogenes, which are mutated in nearly 90% of pancreatic cancers and are also highly prevalent in colon cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma. More...17 Nov 2016
