Investigators at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found a way to quickly and reversibly fine-tune the activity of individual proteins in cells and living mammals, providing a powerful new laboratory tool for identifying-more precisely than ever before-the functions of different proteins.
The new technique also could help to speed the development of therapies in which cancer-fighting proteins are selectively delivered to tumors.

University of Manchester scientists have uncovered the 3D structure of Mps1 – a protein that regulates the number of chromosomes during cell division and thus has an essential role in the prevention of cancer – which will lead to the design of safer and more effective therapies.

Much has been learned about the potential of the immune system to control cancer and the various ways that immunotherapy can boost the potential of the immune system for the benefit of the patient. This knowledge has stimulated the invention of many new therapeutic antibodies, cell-based treatments, and vaccines, which are starting to be used in clinical practice, either alone or in various combinations. These new therapies are expected to result in improved cancer treatment and, eventually, the prevention of cancer.

The increasing use of primary tumors as surrogate markers for prognosis and therapeutic decisions neglects evolutionary aspects of cancer progression.
The reseachers identified chromosome 17q12–21, the region comprising HER2, as the most frequent gain in disseminated tumor cells that were isolated from both ectopic sites when they analyzed single disseminated cancer cells from lymph nodes and bone marrow of 107 consecutive esophageal cancer patients.
