Nickel nanoparticles may contribute to lung cancer
All the excitement about nanotechnology comes down to this: Structures
of materials at the scale of billionths of a meter take on unusual
properties. Technologists often focus on the happier among these
newfound capabilities, but new research by an interdisciplinary team
of scientists at Brown University finds that nanoparticles of nickel
activate a cellular pathway that contributes to cancer in human lung
cells.

wide range of ovarian cancers, not just those associated with BRCA1
and BRCA2 genetic mutations, according to a new study published online

Why Literally Everyone Has Cancer And What This Means For You
I  think  it  is  possible  that  we  might  all  have  cancer. Yes,
even you who are reading this column right now. Usually  we  wonder
why  someone  gets  cancer.  This  is  especially  true  when  that
someone  happens  to  be  you,  which  was  the  case  for  me  in
late  2009  when  I  was  diagnosed  with  apparently  aggressive
prostate  cancer  at  age  42. I never thought cancer would happen to
me or at least never at such a young age, but there I was out of the
blue: a cancer patient.

Bone drug tied to lower colon cancer risk‎
A new study adds to evidence that bone drugs may play a role in
suppressing cancer development, although there is still no proof that
taking the medications would stave off malignancies. By Frederik

Human guinea pigs lend their courage to a golden era of cancer
research‎
A single hereditary error in DNA can cause a key anti-cancer gene to
switch off, giving a greater risk of developing cancer.

Cancers du sang : une forme modifiée d'ecstasy pour détruire
efficacement les tumeurs‎
Des chercheurs de l'université britannique de Birmingham ont découvert
une forme modifiée de l'ecstasy (MDMA), qui serait 100 fois plus
efficace pour détruire les cellules cancéreuses que la drogue elle-
même. La trouvaille ouvre alors la voie à une possible application
thérapeutique. Dans MaxiSciences

Cancer du sein : des vaisseaux sanguins qui détruisent les tumeurs
Nouvel espoir dans le traitement des cancers du sein : des chercheurs
ont découvert des vaisseaux sanguins capables de favoriser le passage
dans les cellules cancéreuses de lymphocytes tueurs. Ces lymphocytes,
dont le mode d'action était jusque-là mystérieux, peuvent alors
détruire la tumeur plus facilement.
