1940's drug targets bowel cancer gene
Posted on 2009-09-04 16:48:28 in Cancer | Drug Trends | Genetic Research | Genetics in Disease | Longevity and Age Management |
The drug methotrexate, first used in the 1940's, has been found to destroy the damaged MSH2 gene prevelant in people with the genetic condition HNPCC. HNPCC contributes to bowel cancer, tumors of the stomach, womb, ovaries and kidneys. Continue reading…
Malignant melanoma may respond to breast cancer drug
Posted on 2009-09-01 21:47:19 in Cancer | Genetic Research | Genetics in Disease | Longevity and Age Management |
Melanoma tumors with particular genetic mutations might respond to the drug lapatinib, already licensed for treating breast cancer tumors. Such a therapy would treat malignant melanoma in advanced stages with the common mutation called ERBB4 or HER4. Continue reading…
New gene therapy vector delivers therapeutic genes
Posted on 2009-09-01 21:09:19 in Cancer | Genetic Research | Genetics in Disease | Longevity and Age Management |
A report in "The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal" describes a new gene therapy vector which can transfer DNA to a cell's nucleus far more efficiently than in the past. The development raises hopes for more effective treatment of genetic disorders and some types of cancers. Continue reading…
New gene identified in development of fat cells
Posted on 2009-08-29 16:10:00 in Diabetes | Genetic Research | Longevity and Age Management | Weight and Obesity |
Research from the University of Central Florida indentifies a gene that controls the development of fat cells. Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 Induced Protein (MCPIP) gives scientists a new direction for developing drugs that would prevent the body from becoming resistant to insulin and prone to type 2 diabetes.
