- Popular herbal supplement hinders the growth of pancreatic cancer cells
04-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
A commonly used herbal supplement, triphala, has cancer-fighting properties that prevent or slow the growth of pancreatic cancer tumors implanted in mice, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, April 14-18. When fed orally to mice, triphala induced apoptosis in cancer cells.

- Anti-cancer drug damages brain vessels
02-11-2008 · EurekAlert!
New research may help explain why an anti-cancer drug causes potentially fatal brain inflammation in certain patients. Scientists at Harvard Medical School mimicked the drug's activity in mice and found that it damaged the cell lining that prevents fluid from leaking from the spinal cord into the brain. The results will be published online on Feb. 11 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.

- TNF-alpha antagonist stops inflammation-induced colon cancer in its tracks
01-24-2008 · EurekAlert!
Individuals with the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of developing colon cancer. New data have identified a central role for the soluble factor TNF-alpha in the development of colon cancer in mice induced to have inflammatory bowel disease. These data provide clear rationale for the idea that drugs antagonizing TNF-alpha (such as those used to treat rheumatoid arthritis) might reduce the risk of colon cancer in individuals with UC.

- Peptide vaccine fights off breast tumors with aid of bacteria-mimicking agents
02-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
With the help of immune system-stimulating molecules that mimic bacterial components, researchers have used a type of cancer vaccine to both delay and prevent breast tumors in mice. The strategy, they say, holds promise for the future use of peptide vaccines in women who are at high risk for developing breast cancer.

- Jefferson scientists uncover gene mutation that cuts colon polyps, may suppress cancer
03-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have found a gene mutation that can dramatically reduce the number of colon polyps that develop, potentially cutting the risk of cancer. Researchers studying mice prone to develop polyps discovered that animals carrying the damaged gene had about 90 percent fewer polyps in the small intestine and colon. Because people with large numbers of polyps are at higher risk for colon cancer, the finding may provide new ways to diagnose, prevent and treat it.

- Small RNAs can prevent spread of breast cancer
01-09-2008 · EurekAlert!
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have identified small pieces of ribonucleic acid that suppress the spread of breast cancer to the lungs and bone. The new research shows that the most invasive and aggressive human breast cancer tumors are missing three critical microRNA molecules. When the researchers put those molecules back into human breast cancer tumors in mice, the tumors lost their ability to spread.
