Fruit research yields way to curb cancer

Scientists at an Israeli university have found a promising new way to stop the growth and spread of cancer cells while carrying out research to boost the size of peaches and nectarines, the university said on Sunday.

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem scientists found that a protein similar to one researched in their project had the effect of blocking blood supply to tumours.

"By blocking the blood supply to the tumours, actibind halted the ability of malignant cells to move through the blood stream," the university said.

"Their approach has been shown to inhibit the malignant cells without affecting normal cells and without the severe side effects of traditional treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy," it said.

Oded Shoseyov, who led the research, told Reuters his team had succeeded in using the protein to reduce the number of fruits on a tree, thereby increasing the size of each fruit. The technique worked by inhibiting the growth of pollen cells.

"We hypothesised that since the mechanism of growth is very similar -- between the pollen cell and the cancer cell -- that the protein would have the same effect," he said.

Shoseyov's team had used genetic engineering to produce a variant of the protein "that showed an impressive anti-cancer potential", the university said.

"These results have raised broad interest in international scientific meetings and in business circles," it said.

No link seen between anthrax shots and eye ailment

Last Updated: 2006-07-03 11:04:36 -0400 (Reuters Health)

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Vaccine postmarketing surveillance among U.S. military personnel does not show any association between inflammation of the optic nerve, also called optic neuritis, and immunization against anthrax, smallpox, hepatitis B, or influenza, regardless of whether these vaccines are administered alone or in combination, investigators report.

There have been a number of case reports of a potential association between optic neuritis and receipt of these vaccines, Dr. Daniel C. Payne from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, and colleagues explain in a report in Archives of Neurology.

 

 

 

 

To investigate further, they conducted a matched case-control study within the U.S. military. Analyses centered on 1,131 cases of optic neuritis and 3,393 controls matched by sex, military component, and deployment status.

The investigators calculated optic neuritis risks at 6-, 12-, and 18-weeks post vaccination intervals, given that onset of vaccine-mediated optic neuritis would typically occur within several weeks after vaccination, they explain.

Payne and colleagues could find no statistically significant associations between optic neuritis and vaccination with anthrax, smallpox, hepatitis B, and influenza vaccines for any of the three study intervals.

There were also no statistically significant vaccine interactions.

"With questions concerning the safety of anthrax vaccine raised by the media, by some scientists, and by some members of the Armed Forces, the negative findings presented here are important to this vaccine's continuing safety discussion," the authors conclude.
