A new significance of LVD and angiogenic MVD is identified in human primary SCRC

A study led by Professor Xiang Du from Cancer Hospital, Fudan University, has investigated 132 cases with sporadic colorectal carcinoma and found that the detection of lymphatic vessel density and microvessel density at tumor borders may be useful in predicting metastasis and prognosis in patients with SCRC, and the co-accounting of LVD and MVD might be used as a prognostic factor of SCRC.

2. Genes set scene for metastasis
   04-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Biologists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have identified a set of genes expressed in human breast cancer cells that work together to remodel the network of blood vessels at the site of the primary tumor. These genes were also found to promote the spread of breast cancer to the lungs. The study, conducted in mice and reported in this week's Nature, helps to explain how cancer metastasis can occur and highlights targets for therapeutic treatment.

   02-01-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers from the University of Chicago Medical Center and Columbia University analyzed specific properties of the human genes and proteins that serve as targets for nearly a thousand FDA-approved drugs. They identified common characteristics of successful drug targets, especially those of high-revenue drugs. This data could speed up the process and cut down the cost of new drug development.

8. Newly identified mechanism for silencing genes points to possible anti-cancer strategies
   05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists are only beginning to appreciate the extraordinary degree of control exercised over every step of the gene-to-protein production process. Only about 10 percent of human genes, for example, are active in a given cell at a given time, with the remaining 90 percent silenced by a various mechanisms. In a just-published study in Nature, scientists report an important new gene-silencing mechanism that points to promising potential targets for anti-cancer interventions.

   A gene responsible for the single most common cause of hearing loss among white adults, otosclerosis, has been identified for the first time, a scientist told the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics in Nice, France. Melissa Thys, from the Department of Medical Genetics, University of Antwerp, Belgium, said that this finding may be a step towards new treatments for otosclerosis, which affects approximately one in 250 people.

    11-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
    A human stem cell line derived from embryos that were identified by preimplantation genetic diagnosis to carry the mutation for fragile X syndrome has provided an unprecedented view of early events associated with this disease. In addition to giving scientists fresh insight into fragile X, results from this unique model system have emphasized the value of this new source of embryonic stem cells and may have a significant impact on the way that genetic diseases are studied in the future.
