- Jefferson scientists find protein helps pancreatic cancer cells evade immune system and spread
01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
A protein that helps prevent a woman's body from rejecting a fetus may also play an important role in enabling pancreatic cancer cells to evade detection by the immune system, allowing them to spread in the body. Researchers found that the metastatic pancreatic cancer cells in the lymph nodes produce enough of the protein, IDO, to wall-off the immune system's T-cells and recruit cells that suppress the immune response to the tumor.

- Robotics lab helps stroke patients with recovery
12-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Robotics engineers at Rice University are teaming with doctors from Houston's Memorial Hermann/TIRR to develop a PC-based system for stroke rehabilitation. Sixteen patients are testing a prototype system. They use joysticks to move objects on a computer screen. Using force-feedback technology, the joystick resists moves in the wrong direction and guides patients along the right path. Researchers hope to refine the system to allow stroke patients to recover more quickly.

- Study explains how pathogens evolve to escape detection
07-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
In the evolutionary battle in which plants are trying to beef up their defenses against pathogens, Cornell researchers have discovered a bacterium that infects tomatoes by injecting a special protein into the plant's cells and undermines the plant's defense system.

- Purdue researchers develop technology to detect cancer by scanning surface veins
09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have developed technology to detect tumor cells within the human body. By shining a laser on surface veins, such as those on the wrist and inside the cheek, researchers are able to reveal and count circulating tumor cells. The new detection method is able to evaluate a much larger volume of blood than what can be drawn from a patient for analysis, said Philip Low, Purdue's Ralph C. Corley Distinguished Professor of Chemistry.
