 mBioProtein improves efficacy of tumor-killing enzyme Scientists have devised a method for delivering tumor cell-killing enzymes in a way that protects the enzyme until it can do its work inside the cell. In their study in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, researchers assembled microscopic protein packages that can deliver an enzyme called PEIII to the insides of cells.

PLOS MedicineUpper GI bleed linked to death from other causes Individuals who have experienced a major bleed from their stomach or oesophagus (known as an upper gastrointestinal bleed) may be more likely to die from other causes, particularly malignant tumours and cardiovascular disease, than those without an upper gastrointestinal bleed, according to a study by UK researchers published in this week's PLOS Medicine.

Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & PreventionWomen smokers may have greater risk for colon cancer than men Smokers of both genders had increased risk for colon cancer compared with never smokers. The risk increase was greater for female smokers. The more and longer a woman smoked the greater her risk. Contact: Jeremy Moore

JAMA Media Briefing on Child Health JAMAStudy compares effectiveness of 2 vs. 3 doses of HPV vaccine for girls and young women With the number of doses and cost of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines a barrier to global implementation, researchers have found that girls who received two doses of HPV vaccine had immune responses to HPV-16 and HPV-18 infection that were noninferior to (not worse than) the responses for young women who received three doses, according to a study in the May 1 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on child health.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesBig data analysis identifies prognostic RNA markers in a common form of breast cancer An analysis that integrates three large sets of genomic data available through The Cancer Genome Atlas has identified 37 RNA molecules that might predict survival in patients with the most common form of breast cancer. The study analyzed large masses of data from 466 cases of the most common type of breast cancer and provides the first prognostic signature in cancer composed of both mRNA and microRNA.

Nature Structural & Molecular BiologyMapping of cancer cell fuel pumps paves the way for new drugs For the first time, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have managed to obtain detailed images of the way in which the transport protein GLUT transports sugars into cells. The researchers are hoping that the study, published in the scientific magazine Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, will form the basis for new strategies to fight cancer cells.

Breast Cancer ResearchHow does pregnancy reduce breast cancer risk? Being pregnant while young is known to protect a women against breast cancer. But why? Research in BioMed Central's open access journal Breast Cancer Research finds that Wnt/Notch signalling ratio is decreased in the breast tissue of mice which have given birth, compared to virgin mice of the same age.

Scientific ReportsBattery of tests on cancer cells shows them as 'squishy,' yet tactically strong A team of student researchers and their professors from 20 laboratories around the country have gotten a new view of cancer cells. The work could shed light on the transforming physical properties of these cells as they metastasize, said Jack R. Staunton, a Ph.D. candidate at Arizona State University in the lab of Prof. Robert Ros, and the lead author of a paper reporting on the topic. Contact: Skip Derra

Journal of Investigative DermatologyBUSM study reveals novel mechanism by which UVA contributes to photoaging of skin A study conducted by researchers at Boston University School of Medicine provides new evidence that longwave ultraviolet light induces a protein that could result in premature skin aging. The findings demonstrate that aspects of photoaging, the process of skin aging by chronic exposure to ultraviolet radiation, could be linked to genetic factors that accelerate the aging process when induced by the environment.

CellScientists discover new way protein degradation is regulated Researchers at The Rockefeller University and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have identified the mechanism by which the cell's protein recycler, the proteasome, ramps up its activity to take care of unwanted and potentially toxic proteins. The finding, which has implications for treating muscle wasting neurodegeneration, also suggests that small molecule inhibitors of this mechanism may be clinically useful in treating multiple myeloma.

CellSunshine hormone, vitamin D, may offer hope for treating liver fibrosis Liver fibrosis results from an excessive accumulation of tough, fibrous scar tissue and occurs in most types of chronic liver diseases. In industrialized countries, the main causes of liver injury leading to fibrosis include chronic hepatitis virus infection, excess alcohol consumption and, increasingly, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
