Inhibition of a Tyrosine Kinase in Mouse Models Decreased Tumor Growth and Metastasis
Studies with genetically engineered mouse models of breast cancer, melanoma, and colon cancer have shown that inhibiting the action of the tyrosine kinase MerTK increased the ability of the animals to produce an active immune response and blocked tumor growth and metastasis. More...24 Jul 2013
BRAF Mutation Triggers Series of Cellular Transformations Leading to Colon Cancer
Cancer researchers have found that the activity of the protein encoded by the mutant BRAFV600E gene triggers a series of transformations that convert normal cells in the colon into a precancerous and ultimately fully cancerous state. More...23 Jul 2013
New Chemotherapeutic Approach Will Selectively Starve Cancer Cells
Blocking the activity of the enzyme eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase, which is found in cancer cells but not in normal cells, prevents tumors from adapting to nutrient deprivation and may represent a new chemotherapeutic approach. More...21 Jul 2013

Genetically Engineered Mouse Models That Closely Resemble Human Patients Enable More Relevant Cancer Drug Studies
The use of genetically engineered mouse models as recipients for xenografts of various types of human tumors enables study of tumor growth that can be used to predict the responsiveness of these tumors to drug treatment. More...18 Jul 2013

Blocking Action of a Macrophage Surface Protein Limits Damage in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
The macrophage integral membrane protein CD36 has been identified as a central regulator of inflammasome activation in several chronic inflammatory disease such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes. More...18 Jul 2013
