Genetics dominant risk factor in common cancers

Posted: Published on June 27th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 27-Jun-2014 Contact: Bengt Zller bengt.zoller@med.lu.se 46-403-91954 Lund University A study of individuals who have been adopted has identified genetics as the dominant risk factor in 'familial' breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. Researchers at the Centre for Primary Health Care Research at Lund University and Region Skne in Sweden have presented the new research findings based on studies of population registers. "The results of our study do not mean that an individual's lifestyle is not important for the individual's risk of developing cancer, but it suggests that the risk for the three most common types of cancer is dependent to a greater extent on genetics", said Bengt Zller, a reader at Lund University who led the study. The researchers studied adoptees born in Sweden in relation to both their biological parents and their adoptive parents. The Swedish multi-generation register and the cancer register were used to monitor 70 965 adopted men and women. They were all born between 1932 and 1969 and developed breast cancer, prostate cancer or colorectal cancer between the years 1958 and 2010. Using register studies, the researchers also looked at their adoptive and biological parents over the same period. The risk of cancer in … Continue reading →

Scripps Research Institute Scientists Find Potential New Use for Cancer Drug in Gene Therapy for Blood Disorders

Posted: Published on June 27th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise LA JOLLA, CA June 26, 2014 Scientists working to make gene therapy a reality have solved a major hurdle: how to bypass a blood stem cells natural defenses and efficiently insert disease-fighting genes into the cells genome. In a new study led by Associate Professor Bruce Torbett at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), a team of researchers report that the drug rapamycin, which is commonly used to slow cancer growth and prevent organ rejection, enables delivery of a therapeutic dose of genes to blood stem cells while preserving stem cell function. These findings, published recently online ahead of print by the journal Blood, could lead to more effective and affordable long-term treatments for blood cell disorders in which mutations in the DNA cause abnormal cell functions, such as in leukemia and sickle cell anemia. Improving Gene Delivery to Blood Stem Cells Viruses infect the body by inserting their own genetic material into human cells. In gene therapy, however, scientists have developed gutted viruses, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), to produce what are called viral vectors. Viral vectors carry therapeutic genes into cells without causing viral disease. Torbett and other scientists … Continue reading →

Pacific Fertility Centers Clinical Laboratory Director Presents at Two International Scientific Meetings in May

Posted: Published on June 27th, 2014

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2014 Recognized internationally for his expertise as an embryologist and researcher, Joseph Conaghan, PhD, presented at the Irish Fertility Societys 8th Annual Scientific Meeting in Dublin on May 16 and 17, and at the Third Annual Canadian Embryology Summit in Toronto on May 31. Dr. Conaghan is Clinical Laboratory Director at Pacific Fertility Center. Founded in 2005, the Irish Fertility Society represents a broad cross section of individuals working in the area of infertility, including doctors, scientists, nurses, counselors, and administrative staff. At its annual meeting, Dr. Conaghan spoke about the use of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) and time-lapse imaging to promote the wider application of elective single embryo transfer (eSET) with in vitro fertilization (IVF). PGS helps identify embryos with chromosomal abnormalities. Time-lapse imaging allows laboratory staff to noninvasively observe early cell development to help identify the healthiest embryos. Combined, these techniques have made it increasingly possible to transfer a single embryo, thereby minimizing the risk of multiple births while maintaining high pregnancy rates. Also focused on topics relevant to the field of human IVF, the Canadian Embryology Summit is targeted to the interests of clinical embryologists. At its recent meeting, Dr. Conaghan … Continue reading →
