News and current affairs

The debts will re-emerge like a tumor, growing year by year, while undermining the creditworthiness of stable eurozone countries.

TBILISI: Corruption is a malignant tumor, removable only with pain.

Both research teams describe how the use of a chemical inhibitor can kill tumor cells that have either a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene defect causing hereditary breast cancer.

This new treatment targets only the tumor cells and is unlikely to affect other healthy cells in the body.

Thus, only the tumor cells will have a non-functional recombination pathway and rely completely on PARP to repair single-strand breaks before copying the DNA.

The ability of tumor cells to adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions, including toxic chemicals, is similar to the evolutionary capacities demonstrated by crop pests and other invasive species.

Recent research suggests that efforts to eliminate cancers may actually hasten the emergence of resistance and tumor recurrence, thus reducing a patient's chances of survival.

The reason arises from a component of tumor biology not ordinarily investigated: the cost of resistance to treatment.

This means that high doses of chemotherapy might actually increase the likelihood of a tumor becoming unresponsive to further therapy.

Yet when we treated the mice with a drug dose continuously adjusted to maintain a stable tumor volume, the animals, though not cured, survived for a prolonged period of time.

Designing therapies to sustain a stable tumor mass rather than eradicate all cancer cells will require a strategy that looks beyond the immediate cytotoxic effects of any one treatment.

Ultraviolet radiation causes specific and unique mutations in the tumor suppressor gene that produces a protein called p53.

Genes that stimulate cell growth are called oncogenes; those that inhibit it are called tumor suppressor genes.

When oncogenes are activated, or tumor suppressor genes disabled, cells can multiply out of control.

LONDON - Osama bin Laden's death in his Pakistani hiding place is like the removal of a tumor from the Muslim world.

With a growing number of cancer survivors, we need to understand better the twin processes of tumor dormancy and metastatic cancer recurrence.

Recent studies - from both the laboratory and the clinic - suggest that many cancer cells that leave the primary tumor may lodge themselves in new organs and go into a dormant state.

Our knowledge of the regulation of tumor dormancy is really in its infancy.

Indeed, there is evidence suggesting that tumor dormancy is a valid target for therapy.

The challenge today is thus to understand the processes of tumor dormancy and metastasis better, in order to determine more accurately which patients will benefit from long-term therapy.

The answers to these questions will require research, and research into metastasis and tumor dormancy is difficult.

It may be that many cancer patients harbor disseminated tumor cells, and not all of these cells are destined to re-awaken.

Metastases, not the primary tumor, are responsible for most cancer deaths.

He suggested that tumors emit a substance called tumor-angiogenesis factor, which causes surrounding blood vessels to grow toward it, supplying nutrition and removing waste.

Folkman hypothesized that this process, angiogenesis, is crucial to the tumor's survival.

Tumor suppressor genes can be disabled by mutation, or by spontaneous loss during cell division.

Similar techniques have been used to identify genes involved in tumor metastasis.
