Flufenamic Acid Slows Spread of Bladder Cancer in Mouse Model
The enzyme aldo-keto reductase 1C1, which could be suppressed by the anti-cold drug flufenamic acid, was found to be highly active in metastatic human bladder cancer and represents a potent molecular target for treating the disease. More...26 Oct 2016
Active SPARCL1 Slows Growth and Spread of Colorectal Cancer
Cancer researchers have found that the protein SPARCL1 (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine like-1) stabilizes mature blood vessels in healthy intestinal tissue, thus preventing the formation of new blood vessels and inhibiting the growth and spread of colorectal cancer. More...26 Oct 2016
Post-Infection Zika Virus Shed in Saliva and Semen
Results of a study of the mechanism of Zika virus infection in two primate models demonstrated that the virus spread rapidly into the nervous system of healthy animals and that shedding of the virus in saliva and semen underscored possible concern for additional neurological complications and non-mosquito-mediated transmission in humans.
