lung cancer researcher use Crizotinib which Targets Gene To Stop Lung Cancer Tumors in 90% of Treated Patients
CHICAGO/NEW YORK, June 5 (Reuters) - A drug being developed by Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) shrank lung cancer tumors in more than half of treated patients, and nearly all showed some benefit, U.S. researchers said on Saturday. The experimental drug crizotinib is designed to target a specific genetic mutation most commonly found in nonsmokers with non-small cell lung cancer. "Many of these patients ... Full story

study DNA Genes to protect against genetic alterations and diseases identified

ondon, Aug 7 (ANI): In a study on the DNA of tiny yeast, scientists have pinpointed a large number of genes that can prevent a type of genetic rearrangement that may lead to cancer and other diseases.Many of these genes, and their accompanying pathways, are involved in repairing mistakes in DNA replication. And the discovery of these genes by researchers at University of California, San Diego, ... Full story

Small male seahorses suffer from ’short man’ syndrome

London, Aug 7 (ANI): Small male seahorses suffer from ’short man’ syndrome, as they try to pursue the tallest females for mating, according to a study from the University of Zurich. The research was based on the courtship rituals of the big-bellied seahorse, called Hippocampus abdominalis. The males of the species are known to give birth, so researchers had assumed that the females were in charge when ... Full story

Cell on a Chip fusion of engineering and biology

The drug heparin is widely used to prevent blood from clotting in medical procedures ranging from dialysis to open-heart surgery. With a $6 billion market, it is one of the most common drugs used in hospitals today. But its widespread use belies its crude origins: more than 90 years after it was discovered, heparin is still made from pig intestines. But a new microfluidics chip, ... Full story
