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

Kids with cerebral palsy may benefit from video game play
eurekalert.org — “Like their healthy peers, children with disabilities may spend too much time in front of a video screen. For children with cerebral palsy (CP), this leads to an even greater risk of being overweight or developing health issues such as diabetes or musculoskeletal disorders. Scientists have found that video games such as Nintendo's Wii offer an enjoyable opportunity to promote light to moderate physical activity in children with CP, and may have a role to play in rehabilitation therapy.” View full resource at eurekalert.org

Genetic abnormalities in benign or malignant tissues predict relapse of prostate cancer
eurekalert.org — “Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have found that a genetic abnormality known as copy number variation in prostate cancer tumors, as well as in the benign prostate tissues adjacent to the tumor and in the blood of patients with prostate cancer, can predict whether a patient will experience a relapse, and the nature of the relapse -- aggressive or indolent. Their report is published in the June issue of the American Journal of Pathology.” View full resource at eurekalert.org

Aged hematopoietic stem cells rejuvenated to be functionally younger
eurekalert.org — “Researchers have rejuvenated aged hematopoietic stem cells to be functionally younger, offering intriguing clues into how medicine might one day fend off some of the ailments of old age. The study, appearing in Cell Stem Cell, brings new perspective to what has been a life science controversy -- countering what used to be broad consensus that the aging of hematopoietic stem cells was locked in by nature and not reversible by therapeutic intervention.” View full resource at eurekalert.org
