Scientists discover new signaling pathway to reduce tumour growth in glioblastoma multiforme
Scientists discover new signaling pathway to reduce tumour growth in glioblastoma multiforme
Malignant gliomas are the most common subtype of primary brain tumor – and one of the deadliest. Even as doctors make steady progress treating other types of solid tumor cancers, from breast to prostate, the most aggressive form of malignant glioma, called a glioblastoma multiforme or GBM, has steadfastly defied advances in neurosurgery, radiation therapy and various conventional or novel drugs …

NIH to Fund Age-related Signaling Network Studies
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – The National Institutes of Health will fund two-year grants to researchers aiming to identify novel targets within the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling network, which potentially could be used to promote healthy aging and extend health into old age.

Arsenic exposure activates an oncogenic signaling pathway; leads to increased cancer risk
Researchers have found a new oncogenic signaling pathway by which the environmental toxin arsenic may lead to adverse health effects, including bladder cancer. These study results are published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
