Flipping a light switch in the cell: Quantum dots used for targeted neural activation

February 8, 2012
(Optical Society of America) By harnessing quantum dots researchers at the University of Washington have developed a new and vastly more targeted way to stimulate neurons in the brain. Being able to switch neurons on and off and monitor how they communicate with one another is crucial for understanding -- ...

Study Identifies Molecular Switch That Allows Melanoma To Resist Therapy

February 7, 2012
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimates that as many as one in 51 men and women will be diagnosed with melanoma - the deadliest form of skin cancer - at some point during their lifetimes. A research team led by Ze'ev Ronai, Ph.D. at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) is ...

Sanford-Burnham researchers find molecular switch that allows melanoma to resist therapy

February 2, 2012
(Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute) In a paper published Feb. 3 in Cell, researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute identified a molecular switch that controls the protein Activating Transcription Factor 2 (ATF2), which is associated with poor prognosis in melanoma. This switch is controlled by protein kinase Cε (PKCε), which disables ...

Venezuelans line up to switch PIP breast implants

January 31, 2012
(AP) -- The office of plastic surgeon Ignacio Sousa is so packed that women are lined up outside the door. College students in their 20s, housewives in their 40s, middle-class office workers: nearly all are fearful that their breast implants may be leaking.

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 ...
