Inflammation in prostate may reduce cancer risk
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, with an estimated 240,000 new cases diagnosed every year – it kills approximately 30,000 men annually. The prostate is a small gland that produces fluid that nourishes and transports sperm…
Prostate cancer stem cells found to be moving target
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific regenerative cells that replace diseased or damaged cells in the body’s organs. Drs. Goldstein, Witte and colleagues previously reported in Science that prostate cancer can start in basal type stem cells…
Protein involved in nerve-cell migration implicated in spread of brain cancer
The researchers investigated similarities between the transition of neural stem cells into neurons and the process whereby cancer cells invade surrounding tissues. …
Scientists unable to find evidence of ’embryonic-like’ cells in marrow of adult mice
The cells long have been believed to be the only naturally occurring pluripotent cells. (Under the right conditions, pluripotent cells can become any other cell in the body.) But some people object to the fact that the embryo is destroyed during their isolation…
Exercise rescues mutated neural stem cells
CHD7 encodes a so-called chromatin remodeler, an important class of epigenetic regulators. DNA is wound around bead-like nucleosomes consisting of histone proteins. The string of beads is then twisted into a structure called chromatin…
Cancer is a result of a default cellular ‘safe mode,’ physicist proposes
In this month’s special issue of Physics World devoted to the "physics of cancer," Paul Davies, principal investigator at Arizona State University’s Center for Convergence of Physical Sciences and Cancer Biology, explains his radical new theory. Davies was brought in to lead the centre in 2009 having almost no experience in cancer research whatsoever. …
