Clue found on breast tumors distinguishes patients with better survival odds
...activated by the hormone prolactin, and stimulates milk production in the breast. Rui and colleagues have recently shown that Stat5 is also active at a lower level in healthy breast cells in non-pregnant women. In the new study they discovered that active Stat5 was lost in many breast cancers, especially...Clemson researcher receives Komen grant

...ls. Merrill and colleagues have already shown that milk sphingolipids can suppress tumor formation. But this is the first study, he said, that has established that the sphingolipids of plants - which are structurally different - can also inhibit colon cancer.

...g in the late 1800s, mules carrying fingerlings in milk cans could not reach many lakes because of their remoteness and the lack of trails. Thus, the main habitat of the mountain yellow-legged frog - clear, cold, rocky lakes up to 12,000 feet - remained free of fish. All that changed when the California D...Latest findings on PCBs to be subject of June workshop at Illinois
