New weapon to fight leukemia
08-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study indicates that the drug FTY720 prevents disease in a mouse model of two leukemias -- blast crisis chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia -- caused by the cancer protein BCR-ABL. As the drug also induced cell lines from humans with these leukemias to die in vitro the authors suggest that FTY720 should be considered by researchers and clinicians developing new approaches to treat CML-BC and ALL.

Support for chromosomal theory of cancer found in cancers' development of drug resistance
06-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Most cancer researchers are convinced that cancer results from a handful of genetic mutations that kick a cell into uncontrolled growth. UC Berkeley genetics researcher Peter Duesberg disagrees, and finds support for his "chromosomal" theory of cancer in the development of drug resistance by many cancers. While his theory implies their is no magic bullet against cancer, it does provide ways to detect cancer at an early stage.

New molecules discovered that block cancer cells from modifying cell DNA
10-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have discovered new small molecules that may prevent prostate cancer cells from turning off normal genes in a process that transforms normal cells into cancer cells. This significant discovery in the field of epigenetics has immediate implications in the development of new diagnostic tests and cancer medications.
