Cells Loaded with Prodrug-Containing Microparticles Selectively Destroy Prostate Cancer Tumors
A novel approach to treating metastatic prostate cancer with minimal adverse side effects is based on cellular transport of a harmless prodrug that is activated and becomes toxic only in the vicinity of the tumor microenvironment. More...02 May 2016


Stem Cells Derived from Older Individuals May Carry Unsafe Mitochondrial DNA Mutations
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from the skin fibroblasts of older individuals have a likelihood of harboring mitochondrial DNA mutations, which may render them unfit for clinical applications. More...29 Apr 2016
Biomaterial Scaffolds Boost Interleukin Production to Promote Wound Healing
The improved wound healing promoted by use of "biomaterial" scaffolds was shown to be due to activation of the immune system's T helper II pathway with a subsequent increase in production of interleukins. More...29 Apr 2016

Defective Genome Instability Suppressing Genes May Cause Some Types of Cancer
Cancer researchers reported in a recent study that defects in the expression of genes that suppress gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) were linked to more than 93% of the ovarian and 66% of the colorectal cancer cases they had examined. More...28 Apr 2016
