Double Assault on Tough Types of Leukemias
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[24/09/2012] Investigators at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine have identified two promising therapies to treat patients with acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL), a rare form of leukemia where the number of cases is expected to increase with the aging population.

Marker Distinguishes More-Aggressive Form
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[15/06/2012] People newly diagnosed with chronic leukaemia must often wait to learn if they have a faster- or slower-progressing form of the disease. This study identified a molecular marker that quickly helps to distinguish which form a patient has. The findings could enable patients with aggressive disease to start treatment sooner.

[06/06/2012] An antibody that helps a person's own immune system battle cancer cells shows increasing promise in reducing tumours in patients with advanced kidney cancer, according to researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre. Immune Therapy Shows Promise - Read more
Sequencing Technology Decodes DNA Folding Pattern
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[12/04/2012] Using a powerful DNA sequencing methodology, researchers at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have now investigated the three-dimensional structure of DNA folds in the nucleus of a chromosome. The findings provide scientists with a greater understanding about the basic principles of DNA folding and its role in gene regulation. Sequencing Technology Decodes DNA Folding Pattern - Read more
Processes Leading to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[31/01/2012] Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have discovered a molecular pathway that may explain how a particularly deadly form of cancer develops. The discovery may lead to new cancer therapies that reprogram cells instead of killing them. Processes Leading to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia - Read more
