Alternative Cancer Treatments May Be Based on Green Tea Components
A recent paper suggested that the green tea component epigallocatechin-3-gallate could be developed into an alternative treatment for oral cancer that would not have the severe side effects of current chemotherapeutic agents. More...10 Feb 2015

Outcome of Sports Events May Depend on Circadian Rhythms
According to a new study, the outcome of sporting events may depend on how well the timing of the match aligns with the internal biological clocks of the athletes, and so could change performance by the hour depending on what time it is for their inner clock. More...10 Feb 2015

Genetically Engineered Lactobacilli Cure Diabetes in Rat Model
A novel concept for treating diabetes was demonstrated by feeding diabetic rats a diet containing human lactobacilli that had been genetically engineered to secrete the protein glucagon-like peptide-1 GLP-1, which induced significant long-term increases in insulin levels. More...09 Feb 2015

Defective Cell Extrusion May Lead to Formation of Tumors in Pancreas, Lungs, or Colon 
The disruption of normal S1P2 receptor activity in epithelial cells prevents the pro-apoptotic extrusion of cells from overcrowded tissue and leads to the formation of cancerous growths in the pancreas, lung, and colon. More...

Stem Cell Therapy Cures Diabetes in Mouse Model
Diabetes researchers modified human skin cells to produce insulin and showed that after being injected into diabetic immunodeficient mice, the cells developed into an insulin-producing organoid capable of modulating the animals' glucose metabolism. More...08 Feb 2015
