Loss of Ron Signaling Linked to Development of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Cancer researchers have found that decreased molecular signaling by the Ron receptor tyrosine kinase is linked to the development of inflammatory bowel disease, a group of chronic inflammatory disorders of the intestine that result in painful and debilitating complications. More...14 May 2014

Genomic Studies Reveal Links Between Prostate Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease
A large-scale statistical evaluation of genomic studies linked to either prostate cancer or cardiovascular disease risk identified 17 genetic loci that link prostate cancer to risk of developing cardiovascular disease More...13 May 2014

Project to Move Engineered Tissue and Organs from Lab to the Bedside, Operating Room
As developments in lab-created organs and tissues continue to advance, the challenge becomes how to translate the technology from the laboratory to the operating room. Two US universities are now exploring manufacturing platforms to mass produce customized engineered tissues and organs. More...13 May 2014

Metallopolymers Protect Penicillin-Like Antibiotics from Bacterial Beta-Lactamase
Novel drug combinations that unite classical penicillin-like antibiotics with metallopolymers effectively kill bacteria, including "superbugs" such as MRSA that had developed beta-lactamase enzyme-based resistance to the antibiotics. More...12 May 2014
Switch to CAD Technology Greatly Improves Lab-On-A-Chip Capability
The lab-on-a-chip holds potential for reducing cost of medical diagnostics while expanding access to health care. Now scientists have developed computer aided design software to enable far more than one or two tests on a single chip. More...12 May 2014
