Researchers Discover Key Aspect of Process That Activates Breast Cancer Genes
November 29, 2011
by Vicki Tashman, Founder
 Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have discovered key processes by which estrogen, the female sex hormone, activates genes in breast-cancer cells. Greater understanding of how this occurs is expected to eventually lead to new treatments for the disease.

by Vicki Tashman, Founder
 It's a common belief that there's a link between chronic stress and an increased risk of cancer. In new research published in the International Journal of Cancer, scientists at the University of Western Ontario have taken a step toward confirming that belief.
Research led by Dwayne Jackson of the Departments of Medical biophysics and Biomedical Engineering has identified a particular neurotransmitter released in response to stress, that stimulates both cancer cell growth and migration in breast cancer.
