‘Daughters’ of Breast Cells Likely Source of Breast Cancer Tumors

Their finding published in the August 3 2009 issue of the international journal Nature Medicine represents a major shift in the way scientists think breast cancer develops. BRCA1 gene mutations are found in 10 to 20 percent of women with hereditary breast cancer. Women with BRCA1 mutations often develop ‘basal-like’ breast cancer which is a particularly aggressive form of the disease. Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have discovered that luminal progenitor cells ? the ‘daughters’ of breast stem cells ? are the likely source of basal-like breast tumors. In recent years scientists have thought that breast stem cells gave rise to BRCA1 tumors.

Common Allergy Drug Reduces besity And Diabetes In Mice
Science Daily (press release)
In the first study researchers used two common over-the-counter allergy medications to reduce both obesity and type 2 diabetes in mice. The medications called Zaditor and cromolyn stabilize a population of inflammatory immune cells called mast cells. In the second study researchers found that a kind of white blood cell called a regulatory T cell once thought to manage only other white blood cells also acts as a liaison between the metabolic and immune systems—in this case controlling inflammation in fat tissue. Fat tissue from obese and insulin-resistant mice and people is marked by a dramatic absence of this cell type in dramatic contrast to an already reported overabundance in fat tissue of inflammatory immune cells called macrophages.
