09.11.2012Instead of the auricle removed due to a malignant tumor, the specialists of the Johns Hopkins University Clinic grew her a new one. Not easy, not fast, not very nice, but much better than nothing.
09.11.2012At George Mason University, 3 clinical trials are being conducted simultaneously, within the framework of which different approaches to the treatment of breast cancer are being tested.
09.11.2012Despite the fact that the mice used in the experiment had a genetic anomaly, low doses of radiation can also be useful for humans.
09.11.2012A British oncologist performed at least 450 mastectomies on patients who did not have cancer. Another 700 patients who had breast cancer, he left those parts of the breast that must necessarily be removed with such a diagnosis.

08.11.2012A drug that selectively suppresses the activity of the histone – 11 deathylase enzyme will be an effective antitumor drug without affecting normally functioning cells.
08.11.2012Many probiotic bacteria added to foods such as yogurt are unable to reach the intestines. Most of them die in the stomach. Maybe it's worth trying to use a protective coating?
08.11.2012All heart attack patients who received autologous stem cell therapy in phase I clinical trials showed significant improvement in cardiac function. No side effects of cell therapy were noted.
07.11.2012In the UK, some insurance companies have started to prepare pension programs based on the expectation that the client can live up to 120-125 years.
07.11.2012Biologists from the University of Rochester have found out how a blind digger fights cancer. The mechanism they established differs from what was discovered three years ago in another long–lived and cancer-resistant species of blind - a naked digger.
07.11.2012A blood test will predict the aggressiveness of atherosclerosis, osteoporosis and cancer by the activity of cathepsins – enzymes that destroy extracellular matrix proteins.
07.11.2012Blocking the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase stimulates the restoration of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers, which is destroyed in multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases.
07.11.2012The method of early cancer diagnosis is based on the detection of the gammaH2AX protein produced in cells in response to DNA damage. It is believed that the appearance of this protein is one of the first steps on the cell's path to malignancy.
07.11.2012Already at the age of 33, hypertension and prehypertensive conditions cause accelerated aging of the brain, manifested by a violation of the structural integrity of the white matter and a decrease in the volume of gray matter.
07.11.2012In the brains of people genetically predisposed to the development of Alzheimer's disease, biomarkers of the disease can be detected more than 20 years before the first symptoms appear.
07.11.2012"In vitro" progenitor cells of neuroglia quickly stop dividing, and there are too few myelinating oligodendrocytes suitable for cell therapy. Scientists have managed to overcome this barrier.
