Improved Understanding Of Cancer Progression

Researchers at the Hospital de Mar Research Institute (IMIM) have discovered that the protein LOXL2 has a function within the cell nucleus thus far unknown. They have also described a new chemical reaction of this protein on histone H3 that would be involved in gene silencing, one of which would be involved in the progression of breast, larynx, lung and skin tumours. Led by Dr Sandra Peiró and published in Molecular Cell journal, the study is a significant advance in describing the evolution of tumours and opens the door to researching new treatments that block their activity... read more..

Chronic Pain And Its Synaptic Basis - New Insights

According to a study published March 13 in the online, open-access journal PLoS Biology, researchers have discovered a novel obstruction in the pain pathway. This finding could be used to treat individuals suffering from chronic pain. Pain plays a vital role in protecting our bodies from harm. The body's skin, bones, deep tissues and viscera contain little receivers called nodiceptors that pick up harmful stimuli, which are converted into electrical signals that are transmitted to a person's brain via the spinal cord... read more..

Human Papillomavirus-Types Of Cancer-Skin Cancers-Hpv Strains-Warts

Genital warts tied to range of cancers

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who've ever had genital Warts may have a somewhat higher Risk of several Types Of Cancer -- possibly including common Skin Cancers, a new study suggests. The findings, reported in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, confirm some well-established connections between the genital warts virus and certain cancers. And they hint that there could be additional risks. Genital warts are caused by certain strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). It's well known that some of those Hpv Strains -- some of which are the focus of vaccines -- can also promote tumors. ... read more..
