We recently discovered that when the expression of a gene called DNA Polymerase theta (POLQ) is reduced using siRNA, cancer cells become more sensitive to radiotherapy 1. The expression of POLQ is increased in breast, colon, gastric and lung cancer, and is associated with a poor prognosis 2-...

Another common type of reasoning is the search for causes and results.We want to know whether cigarettes really do cause lung cancer,what causes malnutrition,the decay of teeth.We are equally interested in effects:what is the effect of sulphur or lea
However, as we discuss in Appendix A, as the number of patients used to define a local area increases, the favorable bias in LATE estimates from this effect will diminish. The objective of this study is to discuss the tradeoffs involved in choosing a local area size when using local area ...
Lung cancer is when the uncontrollable growth of cells occurs within the lungs. Its major cause is smoking tobacco, and other causes are exposure to radon gas, asbestos, and other carcinogens. It can also be caused by radiation therapy.
This phase 1 clinical trial is hoping to see is the effect can reduce/eliminate the prednisone load, and since it is Phase 1, toxicology is being tested. It is towards the end of the trial and the dosage is 2 million MSC cells once a week for four weeks, (derived from the patients ...

effect for lung cancer. Instead of diminishing cancer stem cells, the treatment actually increased the prevalence of tumors in mice. However, during the study, the scientists alsodiscovered a way to reduce these stem cells, thereby reducing lung cancer.Their findings were published inNature ...
Cancer is a disease that causes an uncontrolled rate of cellular division that results in growths called tumors. It has the capacity to spread to other parts of the body known as metastasis into surrounding tissues. Cancer cells are different from normal cells in that they are not specialized ...
Potential drug–drug interactions mediated by the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter and solute carrier (SLC) transporter families are of clinical and regulatory concern. However, the endogenous functions of these drug transporters are not well understood. Discussed here is evidence for the roles ...
