Researchers Learn How Signaling Molecule Orchestrates Breast Cancer's Spread Thursday, April 3, 2008 A study led by researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has uncovered how breast tumors use a particular type of molecule to promote metastasis - the spread of cancer cells. Therapeutic Cloning Treats Parkinson's Disease in Mice Sunday, March 23, 2008 Research led by investigators at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has shown that therapeutic cloning, also known as somatic-cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), can be used to treat Parkinson's disease in mice. Researchers Identify New Genetic Marker for Breast Cancer Monday, March 3, 2008 An international group of investigators led by scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute has identified a new genetic marker of risk for breast cancer. Women with this DNA variation are at a 1.4 times greater risk of developing breast cancer compared to those without the variation. Novel Mechanism Found That May Boost Impaired Function of Leukemia Protein Friday, February 29, 2008 A new study led by researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) reports on a novel mechanism that can enhance the function of a protein that is frequently impaired in patients with acute forms of leukemia.
