The vast majority of cancer deaths are due to metastasis, the spread of cancer cells from its primary site to other parts of the body. These metastatic cells tend to move more than their non-metastatic variants but this movement is poorly understood. Scientists are studying cancer cells intently with the hope they can learn to control the movements of the dangerous cells. http://www.physorg.com/news164294880.html Medicine & Health Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:40:02 EST news164294880 An extract from grape seeds forces laboratory leukemia cells to commit cell suicide, according to researchers from the University of Kentucky. They found that within 24 hours, 76 percent of leukemia cells had died after being exposed to the extract. http://www.physorg.com/news149924025.html Medicine & Health Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:33:45 EST news149924025 A small, antibody-like molecule created by researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center can successfully attack two separate molecules on the surface of cancer cells at the same time, halting the growth of breast cancer cells in laboratory tests, the researchers say. The molecule, nickname "ALM," might be a means of slowing cancer spread or, as the researchers believe, a guidance system for delivering more aggressive drugs directly to cancer cells. Their findings appear in a recent issue of the British Journal of Cancer. http://www.physorg.com/news145818298.html Medicine & Health Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:04:58 EST news145818298 Each year, some 29,000 adults and 2,000 children are diagnosed with leukemia, a form of cancer that is caused by the abnormal production of white blood cells in the bone marrow. Current treatments rely primarily on killing the cancer cells, which also destroys normal cells. But what if a way could be found to reprogram cancerous cells back into normal cells? A team of Syracuse University researchers believes it may have found a way to do just that. http://www.physorg.com/news144422426.html Chemistry Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:20:26 EST news144422426 (PhysOrg.com) -- Cancer biologists are turning their attention to the normal cells that give rise to cancers, to learn more about how tumor growth might be stopped at the earliest opportunity. http://www.physorg.com/news137685175.html Medicine & Health Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:52:55 EST news137685175 An abundant chromosomal protein that binds to damaged DNA prevents cancer development by enhancing DNA repair, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science. http://www.physorg.com/news135878893.html Medicine & Health Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:08:13 EST news135878893
