A new study of an estrogen-derived drug shows promise as a treatment for breast cancer and breast cancer metastases to bone. In animal studies it effectively targeted breast cancer cells; prevented the spread of breast cancer cells to bone and protected bone from osteolysis, which is a type of bone metastasis in which the bone […]

There are several reasons why the world is still plagued by diseases we cannot treat or vaccinate against, one of them being the vast complexity of the human immune system. Danish researchers have now developed a method, which can help expose a complicated but crucial part of the immune system’s defense mechanisms. This method can […]

Physicists have designed a revolutionary laser technique which can destroy viruses and bacteria such as AIDS without damaging human cells and may also help reduce the spread of hospital infections such as MRSA.

window.document.getElementById(’post-24953′).parentNode.className += ‘ adhesive_post’;Researchers have found a protein that enables cellular survival during periods of low oxygen, or hypoxia, which also is key for development of many kinds of cancer. Researchers believe tumors adapt to low oxygen levels caused by their own rapid growth by turning on molecules that help tumors build a new blood […]

A discovery about the genetics of coat color in dogs could help explain why humans come in different weights and vary in our abilities to cope with stress. The protein that determines coat color in dogs engages the melanocortin pathway, a circuit of molecular interactions that controls the type of melanin and amount of cortisol […]
