Scientists discover key molecular mechanism in breast cancer metastasis
Scientists at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center have identified a key molecular mechanism in breast cancer that enables tumor cells to spread to adjacent or distant parts of the body in a process called metastasis. This...

Molecular imaging can help physicians identify aortic dissection
According to research published in the May issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, molecular imaging can help physicians identify aortic dissection-an often fatal blood vessel condition-and help guide treatment. Aortic dissection occurs when a tear in the...

Scientists show carbon nanotubes can be broken down by MPO
A team of Swedish and American scientists has shown for the first time that carbon nanotubes can be broken down by an enzyme - myeloperoxidase (MPO) - found in white blood cells. Their discoveries are presented in Nature...

Boosting radiation dose for prostate cancer patients does not increase severity of side effects
Boosting the radiation dose given to prostate cancer patients to a level that cut tumor recurrence in half did not increase the severity of side effects reported by patients up to a decade later. The study led by Massachusetts...

Investigators develops new mathematical approach to distinguish health and disease states
Investigators have developed a new mathematical approach to analyze molecular data derived from complex mixtures of immune cells. This approach, when combined with well-established techniques, readily identifies changes in small samples of human whole blood, and has the potential...
