http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008//081214190951.htm The new technology takes advantage of the fact that C nanotubes fluoresce in near-IR light. Human tissue does not, which makes it easier to see the nanotubes light up. Each nanotube is coated with DNA, which binds to DNA-damaging agents present in the cell. That interaction between the DNA and DNA disruptor changes the intensity and/or wavelength of the fluorescent light emitted by the nanotube.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011//110904140450.htm Researchers on two continents were relieved finally to have hit upon the mutated gene responsible for the leukemia that affect entire families. They have gone on to identify abnormal GATA2 genes in more than 20 families and individuals.

http://www.einstein.yu.edu/home/news.asp?id=703 Cancer incidence among WTC-exposed firefighters was compared with cancer incidence in the general-pop. WTC firefighters were found to have a 10% increased risk for all cancers combined. The same comparison- btwn WTC-exposed and non-exposed FDNY firefighters, the cancer risk for the WTC firefighters was 19% increased.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011//110831160230.htm White blood cells known as neutrophils -- bone marrow-derived cells that function as "first responders" at sites of acute inflammation -- promote the growth of new blood vessels in normal, healthy tissue.

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_rel/2011-09/ehs-rrn083111.php These results may have therapeutic consequences, given that cancers using the ALT pathway are predicted to be resistant to anti-telomerase therapies. Further understanding of the molecular mechanisms of ALT will be paramount in designing novel anti-cancer therapeutics targeting cancers utilizing the ALT pathway,"

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011//110719094023.htm Breakthrough result of the current research at Hebrew University dentified for the first time DNA features that regulate DNA replication along the fragile sites, in early stages of cancer development. In the future, these findings could lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches to restrain and/or treat cancer.
