New quidelines for malignant melanoma

The German Cancer Society has worked out new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma - a disease with unfavorable prognosis. Malignant melanoma is responsible for 90% of deaths from skin cancer. The incidence has increased 5-fold within the last 30 years and UV radiation is thought to be an important cause. Caucasian populations are most ...

A diagnostic marker for early cancer detection
  Early stage diagnostics of cancer is important, because patients who are treated for cancer at an early stage have a higher chance on survival. The found marker has a high specificity and sensitivity and can be included in or developed into DNA methylation kits that are used for non-invasive detection of (pre-symptomatic) cancer such as fecal DNA testing.

Blocking mechanism found for antibiotic resistance in bacteria
 

It's as simple as A, T, G, C. Northwestern University scientists have exploited the Watson-Crick base pairing of DNA to provide a defensive tool that could be used to fight the spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria -- one of the world's most pressing public health problems.

 
SRS microscopy helps track molecules and drugs in live cells
 

A new type of highly sensitive microscopy developed by researchers at Harvard University could greatly expand the limits of modern biomedical imaging, allowing scientists to track the location of minuscule metabolites and drugs in living cells and tissues without the use of any kind of fluorescent labelling.

 
 
Genetic links found between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease 
 

Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes and celiac disease appear to share a common genetic origin, scientists at the University of Cambridge and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, have confirmed.Their findings, which are reported in this week's edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, identified seven chromosome regions which ...

 
Discovery of tumour growth enzyme could lead to new cancer drugs
 

They say they have unpicked the structure of telomerase, an enzyme which, when active, helps keep cells in an "immortal" state and they say it is present in more than nine out of ten types of tumours. Telomerase, an elusive enzyme, is a complex structure which has been under investigation by researchers worldwide for more...

 
Diet rich in fat, sugar and cholesterol a potential risk factor for Alzheimer's disease

Advance in K-Ras-mutated cancer research
 

The only known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease slows down the brain's ability to export a toxic protein known as amyloid-beta that is central to the damage the disease causes, scientists have found. The research, published Nov. 13 by the Journal of Clinical Investigation, provides new clues into the workings of a protein known as apolipoprotein E4, or ApoE4. People who carry two copies of the gene have roughly eight...

 
Mammograms may pick up breast cancers which would have disappeared
 

There has been a significant increase in breast cancer rates in some parts of Norway since women there began undergoing mammography every two years and the rates among regularly screened women have remained higher than rates among women of the same age who were screened only once after six years.
