| Radiation and immunotherapy combination can destroy both primary and secondary tumors Posted: 01 May 2016 11:25 AM PDT The addition of an immune system-strengthening compound to radiation therapy can extend the radiation therapy-induced immune response against the tumor sites and that this response even has an effect on tumors outside the radiation field.      |
| New cancer drugs could treat lethal resistant prostate cancers Posted: 01 May 2016 11:25 AM PDT Men with aggressive prostate cancer that has stopped responding to conventional treatment could potentially benefit from a new class of cancer drug designed to overcome drug resistance, a new study suggests. Researchers found that the drugs, called Hsp90 inhibitors, specifically target and inactivate a mechanism commonly used by prostate cancer cells to evade the effects of standard treatment. |
| Screening method uncovers drugs that may combat deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria Posted: 29 Apr 2016 10:35 AM PDT In recent years, hospitals have reported dramatic increases in the number of cases of the highly contagious, difficult-to-treat, and often deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Now, investigators have developed a promising method of identifying new antimicrobials that target these organisms. |
| Mechanism discovered for plants to regulate their flowering in a warming world Posted: 29 Apr 2016 10:34 AM PDT A new mechanism that enables plants to regulate their flowering in response to raised temperatures has been discovered by researchers. The finding could potentially lead to the development of technology allowing us to control the physiological response of plants and mitigate the impacts of warming temperatures. |
| Language study reveals best words to use when selling products Posted: 29 Apr 2016 06:58 AM PDT A "gent" can expect to pay twice as much as a "man" and "authentic" products fetch up to 50 per cent more than "genuine" ones, according to unique academic analysis of the language used on eBay. |
| Prion-like protein found in plants Posted: 29 Apr 2016 06:51 AM PDT Scientists have determined that a plant protein involved in the timing of flowering could in fact be a prion. This is the first time that a possible prion has been identified in plants, and it may play a role in a plant's 'memory' of cold exposure during winter. |
