Cancer Researchers Identify Factors That Drive Melanoma Metastasis

Cancer researchers have traced a molecular pathway that cycles melanoma cells between modes that favor growth of the primary tumor (progression) and modes that favor invasion of other parts of the body (metastasis). More...

Stem Cell Therapy is Safe: Reprogramming Does Not Increase the Rate of Mutagenesis

DNA mapping studies have shown that the genomes of induced pluripotent stem cells do not contain more mutations that did the original cell line from which they were generated. More...

Enzyme Responsible for Skin Thickening Disorder Linked to Esophageal Cancer

A recent paper explained the molecular mechanism underlying the development of palmoplantar keratoderma (thickening of the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet) in the rare genetic disease Tylosis with esophageal cancer (TOC). More...

Defects in Newly Identified Molecular Pathway Lead to Parkinson's Disease

A molecular pathway has been traced that protects dopamine producing neurons and prevents Parkinson's disease, and this finding may pave the way for development of drugs to correct defects in this pathway in individuals who have the disease. More...
