1. Scientists design a PSA-activated protoxin that kills prostate cancer
   11-10-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists have found a way of using a protein made by prostate cancer to target and kill the cancer cells themselves. In preliminary studies the new therapy affected only the prostate, without causing damage to other healthy tissues, and now it is being tested in a phase I clinical trial, according to research presented at the 18th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics in Prague on Friday.

2. Research suggests new treatment suitable for all patients
   01-01-2008 · EurekAlert!
   New research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center suggests that a three-drug cocktail may one day improve outcomes in patients with glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor with a dismal prognosis. Two of the drug candidates have been developed, and the team is working on the third -- all targeted to kill or impair cancer cells and spare healthy brain.

3. Impaired Gene Helps Nonsmall-cell Lung Cancer Resist Drug
   10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Lung cancer cells with a defective version of a potential tumor suppressor gene are highly resistant to attack by a platinum-based drug commonly used to treat the disease, researchers at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas report in the cover article of the Oct. 1 edition of Cancer Research.

4. Researchers find 'zip code' spurs cargo transport in neurons
   10-24-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Getting molecular cargo from the cell body to the synapse of nerve cells is crucial for learning and memory, even for survival of the cell itself. New research conducted at Brown University and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., shows that a single peptide can load and direct this biological material. This peptide "ZIP Code" comes from amyloid precursor protein, the principal player in the development of Alzheimer's disease.

   06-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute of the University of Pennsylvania have found that deleting a gene important in embryo development leads to premature aging and loss of stem cell reservoirs in adult mice. This gene, ATR, is essential for the body's response to damaged DNA, and mutations in proteins in the DNA damage response underlie certain types of cancer and other disorders in humans.

   12-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have opened a new window into the roots of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). "We are looking under the surface of CML to understand better where the cancer is coming from. We have discovered abnormal cells in the early stem cell population in some CML patients, which don't belong to the CML clone. These are abnormal cells that are not part of the CML clone," said Thomas Bumm, M.D., OHSU Cancer Institute member.
