1. Fetal cell 'transplant' could be a hidden link between childbirth and reduced risk of breast cancer
   10-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Some benefits of motherhood are intangible, but one has been validated through biostatistical research: women who bear children have a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. In Seattle, researchers at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center believe they have identified a source of this protective effect: fetal cells "transplanted" to the mother before birth.

4. New telomere discovery could help explain why cancer cells never stop dividing
   10-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A group working at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research in collaboration with the University of Pavia has discovered that telomeres, the repeated DNA-protein complexes at the end of chromosomes that progressively shorten every time a cell divides, also contain RNA. This discovery, published online Oct. 4 in Science Express, calls into question our understanding of how telomeres function, and may provide a new avenue of attack for stopping telomere renewal in cancer cells.

   A well-known inflammatory protein spawns an enzyme that inactivates two tumor-suppressing genes, ultimately triggering production of new blood vessels to nourish breast cancer cells, researchers at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the August edition of the journal Cell.

   04-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine suggests that fish caught in Pittsburgh rivers show evidence of estrogen-like activity, indicating that chemicals that mimic the female hormone may be making their way into the region's waterways. The study, being presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, also found that when the researchers treated breast cancer cells in culture with fish extracts, the cells grew at increased rates.

   A team of scientists from the University of California San Francisco has identified distinct molecular markers that predict whether or not a woman is likely to develop subsequent invasive cancer after initial diagnosis with a noninvasive form of early breast cancer. The research, published by Cell Press in the November issue of Cancer Cell, provides critical information that can be used to determine whether a woman should receive more or less aggressive therapy.
