Clinical trial using measles to attack cancer cells
Many cancer cells, including glioblastoma cells, overexpress a specific protein which allows tumor cells to avoid destruction by the immune system. Strains of the measles virus seek out this protein and enter the tumor.
Suppression of breast cancer cell growth by NHERF1
In addition, NHERF1 is mutated in a subset of primary breast tumors and breast cancer cell lines. LOH at the NHERF1 locus is strongly associated with aggressive features of breast tumors, implicating NHERF1 as a haploinsufficiency tumor
Re: Smoking on Campus tell us what you think
Exposure to second hand smoke (SHS) is believed to cause lung cancer. Pathological angiogenesis is a requisite for tumor growth. Lewis lung cancer cells were injected subcutaneously into mice, which were then exposed to sidestream smoke
Pathway-specific differences between tumor cell lines and normal
Only a fraction of the significantly altered genes in tumor-to-normal comparison had similar expressions in cancer cell lines and tumor cells. These genes were tissue-specific and were distributed sparsely among multiple pathways.
Targeting Cancer Cells by Novel Engineered Modular Transporters
We describe the novel approach of using modular recombinant transporters to target photosensitizers to the nucleus, where their action is most pronounced, of cancer cells overexpressing ErbB1 receptors. We have produced a new generation
Lymphokine-activated killer cell susceptibility and adhesion
Background: Reports showing susceptibility of multidrug resistant (MDR) cancer cells to immune effectors, together with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression in immune effector subsets, including immature natural killer (NK) cells,
GATA3 protein as a MUC1 transcriptional regulator in breast cancer
Thus, we designed the current study to elucidate whether MUC1 expression is regulated by GATA3 in breast cancer cells. Methods: Promoter sequence analysis of the MUC1 gene identified six GATA-cis consensus elements in the 5 flanking
SDF-1{alpha} regulation in breast cancer cells contacting bone
Breast cancer cells (BCCs) show preference for the bone marrow (BM). An animal model showed 2 populations of BCCs in the BM with regard to their cycling states. An in vitro model of early BC entry into BM showed normal hematopoiesis.
White Blood Cells Of Cancer-resistant Mice Overwhelm Natural
The discoverers of the unique mouse line that is resistant to cancer have begun to pin down how the process works and found that white blood cells in these mice overwhelm normal defenses of cancer cells. In a report in Cancer Immunity,
Potentiation of the Effect of Erlotinib by Genistein in Pancreatic
The expression of EGFR, Akt, and NF-B was determined in six human pancreatic cancer cell lines. Selected cells for specific expression were treated with erlotinib, genistein, gemcitabine, or the combination.


Genetically-modified virus explodes cancer cells - 01 June 2004
The GM virus selectively sweeps through cancer cells and kills them, while leaving normal tissue unharmed.
BBC NEWS | Health | Nanotechnology kills cancer cells
Scientists have developed a laser treatment that kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.

Types of lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer is so called because the cancer cells are small cells that are Squamous cell cancer is the most common type of lung cancer.
