News: Moles Contain Self-Policing Cells against Cancer
Mardi 03 Octobre 2006 - 13:00 - 2 années, 1 mois depuis - 22 lectures - Cancer - Scientific American Moles are more than a sometimes unsightly skin growth. Most harbor mutations that can trigger deadly skin cancer--melanoma--and most fair-skinned humans have at least 10 such moles. Yet, only one in 65 of such people will develop melanoma in their lifetimes. And research has now pinpointed how a series of mechanisms prevents the cells that produce pigment--known as melanocytes--from fulfilling any cancerous destiny. |

Scientific American Magazine: Taming Vessels to Treat Cancer
Dimanche 16 Décembre 2007 - 16:00 - 11 mois, 2 semaines depuis - 22 lectures - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American While still a graduate student in 1974, I had a chance to see malignant tumors from a most unusual perspective. I was working at the National Cancer Institute in the laboratory of the late Pietro M. Gullino, who had developed an innovative experimental setup for studying cancer biology--a tumor mass that was connected to the circulatory system of a rat by just a single artery and a single vein. As a chemical engineer, I decided to use this opportunity to measure how much of a drug injected into the animal would flow to the tumor and back out again. Amazingly, most of the substance injected into the rat never entered the tumor. To make matters worse, the small amount that did reach the mass was distributed unevenly, with some areas accumulating hardly any drug at all. |
