Zinc Control Mechanisms Could Be Key To Aggressive Breast Cancer Treatments

February 8, 2012
The body's control mechanisms for delivering zinc to cells could be key to improving treatment for some types of aggressive breast cancer. New research by Cardiff University and King's College London has identified the switch which releases zinc into cells, with important implications for a number of diseases. Zinc has ...

Mutations Tied To Aggressive Childhood Brain Tumors Revealed By Cancer Sequencing Initiative

January 30, 2012
Researchers studying a rare, lethal childhood tumor of the brainstem discovered that nearly 80 percent of the tumors have mutations in genes not previously tied to cancer. Early evidence suggests the alterations play a unique role in other aggressive pediatric brain tumors as well. The findings from the St. Jude ...

Shedding Light On Gene Destruction Linked To Aggressive Prostate Cancer

January 29, 2012
Researchers at Queen's University have identified a possible cause for the loss of a tumour suppressor gene (known as PTEN) that can lead to the development of more aggressive forms of prostate cancer. "This discovery gives us a greater understanding of how aggressive prostate cancer develops because we now have ...

Novel Imaging Platform Enables Researchers To Engineer A Switch To Tame Aggressive Cancers

January 23, 2012
When cancers become aggressive and spread they are the most deadly. Unfortunately, little is known about how to stop this development. A new imaging platform developed by Lawson Health Research Institute's Drs. Ann Chambers and John Lewis is providing insight into just that - the exact moment when cancer cells ...
