Herceptin does not increase heart failure in patients long-term
06-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
Risk of congestive heart failure in women treated with trastuzumab and combination chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer did not increase over time according to a five-year follow-up of National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project trial B-31 led by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Based on the findings, the research team developed a prediction model to help oncologists assess the risk of heart failure in individual breast cancer patients prior to treatment with Herceptin and chemotherapy.

Study shows isolation of stem cells may lead to a treatment for hearing loss
04-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Members of the National Center for Regenerative Medicine research team, Dr. Robert Miller and Dr. Kumar Alagramam, both of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, published research findings in Developmental Neuroscience which suggest new ways of treating hearing loss. These researchers have isolated "cochlear stem cells" located in the inner ear and already primed for development into ear-related tissue due to their proximity to the ear and expression of certain genes necessary for the development of hearing.
