UCSF researchers have found that the spread of melanoma can be inhibited by suppressing telomerase, the enzyme active in cancer cell growth. Findings reported in the July 5 Proceedings of the National ...

A defining characteristic of cancer cells is their immortality. Usually, normal cells are limited in the number of times they can divide before they stop growing. Cancer cells, however, can overcome ...

The docetaxel (DOC) and gemcitabine (GEM) combination as adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A multi-institutional phase II trial No significant financial ...

(WKRC) — Scientists have known for quite some time that red meat is linked to multiple types of cancer, but have not been able to find the exact cause until now. Thanks to a new study from Cancer ...

It is difficult to underestimate the importance of telomerase, an enzyme that is the hallmark of both aging and the uncontrolled cell division associated with cancer. In an effort to understand and ...

Two years ago, Nextbigfuture highlighted Maia Biotechnology, which might have the most promising treatment for all cancers. They poison cells that express the telomerase enzyme which indicates ...

Researchers have recently identified a DNA region known as VNTR2-1 that appears to drive the activity of the telomerase gene, which has been shown to prevent aging in certain types of cells. Knowing ...

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Three Americans won the Nobel prize for medicine on Monday for revealing the existence and nature of telomerase, an enzyme that helps prevent the fraying of chromosomes that ...

Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...

A research group from the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has found that an alteration in the POT1 gene prevents lung tissue from regenerating, which over time makes breathing difficult. A ...
