Low-Temperature Plasma Treatment Kills Prostate Cancer Cells
By combining physics and biology a team of British cancer researchers has shown that low-temperature plasma treatment kills prostate cancer cells in culture and may warrant development into a therapeutic tool to replace radiation and photodynamic methods. More...22 Apr 2015
Suppression of Tumor Growth Linked to Actions of the Ubiquitin System
Cancer researchers working with mouse xenograft and human cancer cell cultures have identified components of the ubiquitin system that are linked to certain cellular processes, which act to suppress malignant growth and protect healthy tissues. More...21 Apr 2015
Two Secreted Proteins Prepare Breast Cancer Cells for Metastasis
Two genes that code for secreted proteins have been found to be responsible for the development of vascular mimicry—imitation blood vessels—by tumor cells and for preparing some tumor cell clones to spread away from the site of the primary tumor. More...21 Apr 2015
Crystal Structure of CARDS Toxin Expected to Advance Respiratory Disease Treatment
A recent paper described the molecular structure of Mycoplasma pneumoniae's Community Acquired Respiratory Distress Syndrome toxin and explained how knowing this structure may lead to advances in the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by this respiratory pathogen. More...20 Apr 2015
Glucocorticoid Receptor Suppresses Tumor Formation by Ensuring Accurate Chromosome Segregation During Mitosis
A team of British molecular biologists has defined the mechanism by which glucocorticoid receptor regulates the process of mitosis to prevent errors in cell division that could lead to tumor formation. More...20 Apr 2015
