Nucleoside Supplementation Reduces Genomic Damage in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Spanish researchers have described a method to reduce the amount of genomic damage incurred during the process that transforms mature adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells, thereby making them potentially useful for biomedical applications. More...14 Sep 2015

Computer Models Help Explain How Tumors Evolve
Cancer researchers used computer modeling to create three-dimensional simulations of tumors developing over time in order to explain why the tumor mass is almost exclusively composed of one type of cell while a similar mass of normal tissue would be composed of many cell types. More...09 Sep 2015


Mouse Model Shows Potential of Personalized Cancer Treatment Based on Live Cell Vaccination
A novel personalized approach to cancer immunotherapy is based on sponge-like "cryogels" that are loaded with a sampling of the patient's tumor cells together with immune system-stimulating reagents and then injected under the skin. More...08 Sep 2015

Clinical Trial Confirms Potential of Candidate Antimyeloma Drug
The candidate drug daratumumab, which is a monoclonal antibody that targets the cell surface molecule CD38, was shown to be a safe and effective treatment for multiple myeloma in a combined phase I/II clinical trial. More...08 Sep 2015
Manipulating MicroRNA Levels May Return Cancer Cells to Normalcy
A possible approach for inducing cancer cells to revert to a precancerous state is based on the protein PLEKHA7, which regulates the levels of select microRNAs (miRNAs) to suppress expression of cell transforming factors. More...07 Sep 2015
