ARNHEM, The Netherlands, October 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- The PCA3 Test May Help Distinguish Between Benign and Aggressive Prostate Cancers

The number of prostate cancer cases is increasing rapidly. Fortunately not all these tumours need to be operated - some are slow growing or indolent.

The question remains: how do we reliably establish which tumour is aggressive and which is not?

The answer may well be given by the PCA3 (Prostate Cancer Gene 3) test, a breakthrough in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The genetic test was developed in the laboratory of the Radboud University in Nijmegen (NL) by a team headed by Professor Jack Schalken.

Circuit Engineering Technique Helps Identify Disease-Causing Genes

Oct 28 2008 | comment(s)

Scientists believe that complex diseases such as schizophrenia, major depression and cancer are not caused by one, but a multitude of dysfunctional genes. A novel computational biology method developed by a research team led by Ali Abdi, PhD,  associate professor in New Jersey Institute of Technology's department of electrical and computer engineering, has found a way to uncover the critical genes responsible for disease development. 

"We see our research developing a novel technology holding high promises for finding key molecules that contribute to human diseases and for identifying critical targets in drug development," said Abdi. "The key to success was our collaboration among researchers with different backgrounds in engineering and medical sciences."

Impact Of Soil Microbes On Global Warming Less Than Previously Predicted

Oct 28 2008 | comment(s)

Current models of global climate change predict warmer temperatures will increase the rate that bacteria and other microbes decompose soil organic matter, a scenario that pumps even more heat-trapping carbon into the atmosphere.
