Discovery of Genetic variants linked to Biological Aging

For the first time scientists have identified the definitive genetic variants linked to biological aging in humans. In a study published online in Nature Genetics on 07 February 2010, researchers from the University of Leicester and King’s College London have revealed their findings. The new discovery has important implications for the understanding of cancer and [...]

Technology to help in early detection of Cancer

In case of Cancer, the earlier the doctor finds the tumor, the better the patient’s chances of recovery. Now, a new testing method aims to detect the disease in its initial stages, so that more lives could be saved. The new technology is based on a microfluidic chip with tiny channels in which a blood [...]

Experimental drug may help fight Brain and Prostate Cancers

An experimental drug currently being tested against breast and lung cancer shows promise in fighting the brain cancer glioblastoma and prostate cancer, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in two preclinical studies. The drug’s actions, observed in isolated human cells in one trial and in rodents in the other, are especially encouraging [...]

‘Self-seeding’ of Cancer Cells and Tumor Progression

Progression of Cancer is commonly thought to be a process involving the growth of a primary tumor followed by metastasis, in which cancer cells leave the primary tumor and spread to distant organs. But now, the findings of a new study by researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center shows that circulating tumor cells cancer cells [...]

Nanosensors helps test Cancer Biomarkers in Blood

Soon nanotechnology will help us in diagnosis of cancer and other deadly diseases. A team led by Yale University researchers has used nanosensors to measure cancer biomarkers in whole blood for the first time. Their findings, which appear December 13 in the advanced online publication of Nature Nanotechnology, could dramatically simplify the way physicians test [...]

Potential Cancer Drug brings new hope for Asthma Patients

A new drug being tested to treat cancer could also help patients suffering from asthma, researchers has suggested. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh found that the drug – R-Roscovitine – helps to kill certain immune cells which can exacerbate symptoms associated with asthma.
Researchers studied the effect that the drug had on immune cells [...]

Turmeric and Black Pepper prevents Breast Cancer

A new scientific study finds that compounds derived from the spices turmeric and pepper could help prevent breast cancer by limiting the growth of stem cells, the small number of cells that fuel a tumor’s growth. Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found that when the dietary compounds curcumin, which is [...]

Herbal Cigarettes are as harmful as normal Cigarettes

Enjoying herbal cigarettes? Think once again! Because, the findings of a new research published in the December issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention suggests that herbal cigarettes are in no way healthier than their normal counterparts.
