An over-the-counter natural remedy derived from honeybee hives arrests the growth of prostate cancer cells and tumors in mice, according to a new paper from researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine.

Researchers find reducing fishmeal hinders growth of farmed fish

May 3, 2012
When it comes to the food used to raise fish in aquaculture "farms," it seems that you may get what you pay for. In a new study,* researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) looked at the health ...

Low oxygen levels could drive cancer growth

May 3, 2012
Athens, Ga. Low oxygen levels in cells may be a primary cause of uncontrollable tumor growth in some cancers, according to a new University of Georgia study. The authors' findings run counter to widely accepted beliefs that genetic mutations are responsible for cancer growth. If ...

Researchers Identify Drivers Of Sarcoma Growth And Survival

May 2, 2012
To better understand the signaling pathways active in sarcomas, researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center used state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based proteomics to characterize a family of protein enzymes that act as "on" or "off" switches important in the biology of cancer. The tyrosine kinases they identified, the researchers said, could act as ...

Comparison Of WHO And CDC Growth Curves In Assessment Of Overweight And Obesity In Children In Canada

May 1, 2012
Several medical organizations have recently recommended that doctors switch from using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth curves to the World Health Organization (WHO) growth curves to better determine overweight and obesity in children in Canada aged 5 years. However, a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical ...

Obesity In Pregnancy, Fetal Growth And Stillbirth

May 1, 2012
Obesity during pregnancy puts women at higher risk of a multitude of challenges. But, according to a new study presented at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine annual convention, fetal growth restriction, or the poor growth of a baby while in the mother's womb, is not one of them. ...

Neurofibromatosis: Fruit Fly Study Provides New Knowledge About Uninhibited Cell Growth

May 1, 2012
In a new study, scientists at the University of Copenhagen show that a specific type of carbohydrate plays an important role in the intercellular signalling that controls the growth and development of the nervous system. In particular, defects in that carbohydrate may result in the uninhibited cell growth that characterizes ...
