Lack of Stem Cell Regulator Leads to Intestinal Cancer in Mouse Model

The interaction of the enzyme protein kinase C-zeta with the enzymes Yap and beta-catenin was found to be a key regulator of intestinal stem cell function and the point where normal cell replacement could give rise to cancerous growth.  More...

Alternative Cancer Treatments May Be Based on Green Tea Components

A recent paper suggested that the green tea component epigallocatechin-3-gallate could be developed into an alternative treatment for oral cancer that would not have the severe side effects of current chemotherapeutic agents.   More...

Outcome of Sports Events May Depend on Circadian Rhythms

According to a new study, the outcome of sporting events may depend on how well the timing of the match aligns with the internal biological clocks of the athletes, and so could change performance by the hour depending on what time it is for their inner clock.   More...

Genetically Engineered Lactobacilli Cure Diabetes in Rat Model

A novel concept for treating diabetes was demonstrated by feeding diabetic rats a diet containing human lactobacilli that had been genetically engineered to secrete the protein glucagon-like peptide-1 GLP-1, which induced significant long-term increases in insulin levels.   More...
