Protein may represent a switch to turn off B cell lymphoma

eurekalert.org — “Researchers studying the molecular signals that drive a specific type of lymphoma have discovered a key biological pathway leading to this type of cancer. Cancerous cells have been described as being "addicted" to certain oncogenes (cancer-causing genes), and the new research may lay the groundwork for breaking that addiction and effectively treating aggressive types of B cell lymphoma.View full resource at eurekalert.org

PDE4 enzyme regulates division of tumour cells and blood vessel growth in cancer tissue

news-medical.net — “Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death throughout the world. Standard treatment methods do not usually result in long-term recovery. In addition to the proliferation of the tumour cells, the growth of blood vessels controls tumors development. The blood vessel growth is controlled by several signalling molecules. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim and Justus Liebig University Giessen have discovered a molecule that plays a key role in thView full resource at news-medical.net

Is there a link between autism and genetics? - Ask Doctor K, Harvard Medical School

askdoctork.com — “DEAR DOCTOR K: I've heard that scientists have discovered genes that cause autism. Could this lead to a cure? DEAR READER: Autism is a disorder of child development. Kids with autism have difficulty communicating and forming social relationships. The studies you are referring to identify genes that increase the risk of autism, and could someday lead to a cure. I think of these studies as the first steps down what is going to be a long road. Nevertheless, they are genuinely exciting.View full resource at askdoctork.com

If you discovered LPD on your own through fertility charting, it’s important to see your physician to receive treatment. With LPD, two things can cause the endometrial lining of the uterus not to accept an egg: either the ovaries are not secreting enough progesterone or the endometrium doesn’t correctly respond to normal levels of progesterone. To get the correct treatment, your physician must first determine what’s causing the LView full resource at fertilityauthority.com
