Brain tumor and brain cancer are synonymous terms. Due to the formation of abnormal cells in the human brain this disease occurs. Human beings below the age of 40 years, especially the kids are the most affected ones by this particular sort of cancer.

Stem cell research can help treat a scope of medicinal issues. It could lead mankind closer to better treatment and conceivably cure various infections.

Cancer is a deadly disease, which can drain off the physical and even mental energy of an individual. It is a condition where the cells loose their ability of controlled cell division, leading to the formation of tumor.

Scientific communities have clearly indicated that lack of stem cells highly affect the quality of life a person is living. Those who have more stem cells in the body always live the healthy and superior life.

A new type of stem cell discovered in the prostate of adult mice can be a source of prostate cancer, according to a new study by researchers

"Researchers say they want to emphasize, however, that the HPV vaccine commonly used by millions of women around the world is perfectly safe if done prior to infection with the virus. The concerns raised by this study relate only to viral therapies or possible use of a therapeutic vaccine after the virus has already been integrated into human cells. "It's been known for decades that only women with prior infection with HPV get cervical cancer," said Andrey Morgun, an assistant professor and a leader of the study in the OSU College of Pharmacy. "In about 90 percent of cases it's naturally eliminated, often without any symptoms. But in a small fraction of cases it can eventually lead to cancer, in ways that have not been fully understood.""

Fats in foods like potato chips and french fries make them nearly irresistible because they trigger natural marijuana-like chemicals in the body called endocannabinoids, researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have found. The researchers discovered that when rats tasted something fatty, cells in their upper gut started producing endocannabinoids, while sugars and proteins did not have this effect. How fats create, like, a buzz It starts on the tongue, where fats in food generate a signal that travels first to your brain, and then through a nerve bundle called the vagus to your intestines. There, the signal stimulates the production of endocannabinoids, which initiates a surge in cell signaling that prompts you to totally pig out - probably by initiating the release of digestive chemicals linked to hunger and satiety that compel us to eat more. And that leads to obesity, diabetes and cancer, the researchers said. But they suggest it might be possible to curb this process by obstructing endocannabinoid activity: for example, by using drugs that "clog" cannabinoid receptors. The trick: bypassing the brain to avoid creating anxiety and depression (which happens when endocannabinoid signaling is blocked in the brain). I'm guessing McDonald's won't be adding that drug to their fries. Ref.: Daniele Piomelli, et al., An endocannabinoid signal in the gut controls dietary fat intake, PNAS, 2011; in press

Stem cells are generally present in the body of humans and several animals. They divide themselves into some other cells as well with time, which are important for the survival of humans.

A collaborative study by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies uncovered that the tumor suppressor p53 not only stops cells that could become cancerous in their tracks but also controls somatic cell reprogramming.

International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO) applauds the recent announcement by doctors at Sweden's Karolinska University Hospital on the creation of the world's first artificial trachea; ISCO would like our followers to understand that the concept of growing cells on a scaffold to treat diseases is showing success in our own research as exemplified by the following: 1) Collaboration with Cytograft in growing artificial blood vessels for treatment of lower limb ischemia.

dass bei Mäusen mindestens 2 der 3 zur Krebstherapie zugelassenen Angiogenese-Hemmer die Bösartigkeit von Tumoren erhöhen können (Cancer Cell 2009, Band 15: Seite 220 und 232). Wurden krebskranke Labortiere mit den Wirkstoffen Sunitinib oder Sorafenib behandelt, verlangsamte sich einerseits das Tumorwachstum deutlich, andererseits drangen die Tumore verstärkt in das umliegende Gewebe ein und bildeten mehr Metastasen. .. Offenbar verlangsamen Angiogenese-Hemmer zunächst das Wachstum eines Tumors, bis dieser auf das knappe Nährstoffangebot reagiert und sich gegen das Aushungern zur Wehr setzt. „Möglicherweise liegt das daran, dass ein Tumor sein Wachstumsverhalten ändert, wenn er nicht mehr ausreichend versorgt wird. Indem er in benachbartes Gewebe eindringt und Tochtergeschwülste bildet, könnte er versuchen, wieder mehr Nachschub zu bekommen

Mahendra Kumar Trivedi has proven the Trivedi Effect® to be of scientific significance through positive results. The results of the tests were also vouched by eminent scientists and scholars with in depth knowledge in molecular science. During the tests it was proven that when cancer cells bought in contact with the Trivedi Effect® their potency was drastically reduced thus improving the life expectancy and health progress of affected patients.

"The SOS-Ras-Raf-MAPK cascade plays a central role here. In about 25% of human tumors, Ras proteins are present in structurally altered forms that enable them to release a flux of mitogenic signals into cells, without ongoing stimulation by their normal upstream regulators (Medema and Bos 1993). We suspect that growth signaling pathways suffer deregulation in all"

"(PhysOrg.com) -- Imagine being able to drop a toothpick on the head of one particular person standing among 100,000 people in a stadium. It sounds impossible, yet this degree of precision at the cellular level has been demonstrated by researchers affiliated with the Johns Hopkins University Institute for NanoBioTechnology. Their study was published online in June in Nature Nanotechnology."
