Combined Therapy Conquers Resistant Tumors: Bortezomib and TRAIL
The principal strategy in the battle against cancer is simple: kill as many tumor cells as possible while sparing healthy cells. Unfortunately, traditional treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, have... read more...
The Cell’s Sophisticated Army to Defend Against Assaults on DNA
The maintenance of genome integrity and function is essen-tial for the survival of cells and organisms. Any damage to our genetic material must be immediately sensed and repaired... read more...
Revealing the Gag Itinerary: How HIV Is Transmitted One Cell at a Time
Although person-to-person transmission of HIV has been well understood for years, researchers are still trying to figure out exactly how the virus moves from one cell to another. Researchers have... read more...
Trio of Tryptophans Aid in Camptothecin Therapy
On occasion, a normally desir-able feature becomes not so desirable, making it necessary to find ways to work around it. The double helical nature of DNA helps it attain a compact... read more...
Microenvironment Influences Interaction of Signaling Molecules
Tumor progression depends not only on events that occur within cancer cells but also on the interaction of cancer cells with their environment, which can regulate tumor growth and metastasis... read more...
Identifying Molecular Culprits of Cervical Cancer Progression
Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA is found in 99.7% of invasive cervical carcinomas, providing strong evidence that the virus is a causative agent in the development of this disease. read more...
Compounds Line Up to Combat Drug Resistance in Cancer Cells
As the war on cancer has intensified and new molecular attacks on cancer cells have been developed, cancer cells have devised innovative ways of defending themselves. read more...
Modulating Cancer Risk: The Gut Takes Control
Cancer risk is influenced by a number of factors, including exposure to chemicals in food and drugs and other molecules in the environment.

NSAIDS: Aiding the Fight Against Cancer
Colorectal cancer claims more than 50,000 lives each year in the United States alone. There is increasing evidence that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may... read more...
Genetic Variation Linked to Lung Cancer Survival in White Smokers
CCR investigators have discovered evidence that links lung cancer survival with genetic variations (called single nucleotide polymorphisms) in the MBL2 gene, a key player in innate immunity. read more...
