"Article Date: 07 Apr 2011 A new drug delivery device designed and constructed by Jie Chen, Thomas Cesario and Peter Rentzepis promises to unlock the potential of photosensitive chemicals to kill drug-resistant infections and perhaps cancer tumors as well. Photosensitive chemicals are molecules that release single oxygen atoms and chemical radicals when illuminated. These radicals are very active chemically, and can rip apart and destroy bacteria, said Peter Rentzepis, a professor of chemistry at University of California, Irvine..." |

"Article Date: 12 Apr 2011 Drinking 100 percent fruit juices could have protective health benefits similar to those of whole fruits, according to research presented in a literature review at the 2011 Experimental Biology (EB) meeting. Highlights from a new report summarizing recent research on the potential benefits of fruit juice suggest a positive association between intake of 100 percent juice and reduced risk for several chronic diseases, including cancer, markers for cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline..." |

"Article Date: 14 Apr 2011 It's one of the most significant men's health conundrums: is the PSA blood test a good way for men to gauge their risk for prostate cancer or does it simply lead to unnecessary and costly tests and surgery, often causing men more problems than potential solutions. Backed with a $3.1 million grant from the National Institutes for Health, physicians at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have embarked on a multi-pronged study to examine whether new urine-based tests that detect genetic abnormalities present in prostate cancer will help doctors more accurately diagnose and screen for prostate cancer. The study will include men who are facing biopsies because of a worrisome PSA test as well as branching out to men being screened for the first time..." |

"Article Date: 26 Apr 2011 Scientists Close In On Molecular Moves That Let Tumor Cells Act As Stowaways In Lymphatic System Cancer has a mighty big bag of tricks that it uses to evade the body's natural defense mechanisms and proliferate. Among those tricks is one that allows tumor cells to turn the intricate and extensive system of lymphatic vessels into something of a highway to metastasis. Yet research unveiled this week may aid in the development of therapeutics that will put the brakes on such cancer spread, and the researchers who completed the study say the findings may extend to other lymphatic disorders..." |
