Inner Workings Of Molecular Thermostat Point To Pathways To Fight Diabetes, Obesity Sep 14, 2009
13, 2009) Best known as the oxygen-carrying component of hemoglobin, the protein that makes blood red, heme also plays a role in chemical detoxification and energy metabolism within the cell. Heme levels are tightly maintained, and with good reason: Too little heme prevents cell growth and division; excessive amounts of heme are toxic. (Science Daily)
Discovery Highlights New Direction For Drug Discovery Jul 14, 2009
20, 2006) A report in the Journal of Biological Chemistry shows that inhibition of heme oxygenase-1, an enzyme involved in iron metabolism, reduces Kaposi sarcoma tumor growth. This discovery could result in. (Science Daily)
Caucasians Are At Higher Risk Of Developing Ewing's Sarcoma Than Other Races Jun 24, 2009
(July 13, 2007) Kaposi sarcoma is unique among cancers because most tumors grow from a small number of different cells, whereas nearly all other cancers arise from a single cell, according to a study published. . (Science Daily)
AIDS: Clues To Virus-cancer Link Uncovered Jun 19, 2009
D. associate professor of microbiology and immunology at UNC s School of Medicine, demonstrated that the Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is not only present in every tumor cell, but that the cells also transcribe microRNAs (miRNA) from the virus ... 8, 2005) In people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may prevent most excess cases of Kaposi sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to a new.

Clues to cancer in AIDS patients found Jun 19, 2009
Dr Dirk Dittmer of UNC's School of Medicine writes in a study paper published in the journal PLoS Pathogens in April that the Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is not only present in every tumor cell, but that the cells also transcribe microRNAs (miRNA) from the virus. MicroRNAs are small molecules that regulate gene expression. (India Times, India -- Health/Science)

Herpes Virus: To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate Feb 24, 2009
14, 2005) Researchers demonstrate that a compound found in licorice, glycyrrhizic acid (GA), can kill cells that are latently infected with Kaposi sarcoma associated herpes. (May 21, 2007) Mice with chronic herpes virus infections can better resist the bacterium that causes plague and a bacterium that causes one kind of food poisoning, researchers report in Nature.
