Penn researchers have determined the role of a key growth factor, found in skin cells of limited quantities in humans, which helps hair follicles form and regenerate during the wound healing process. When this growth factor, called Fgf9, was over-expressed in a mouse model, there was a two- to three-fold increase in the number...

The HER2 growth-factor gene is known to be over-active in breast and gastro-esophageal cancers. But now, irregularities in the genes' expression -- among them mutations, amplifications, substitutions, and translocations -- have been found in 14 different advanced solid tumors. Fuente :...

Patients with cancer that has spread to their bones are often treated with radiation therapy to reduce pain. But if that treatment doesn't work, or can't be used again, a second, effective option now exists.
