Imaging System Offers Glimpse Of Rare Mutant Cells, May Help Understand Origins Of Cancer
MIT biological engineers have developed a new imaging system that allows them to see cells that have undergone a specific mutation. The work, which could help scientists understand how precancerous mutations arise, marks the first time researchers have been able to pinpoint the number and location of mutant cells - cells with a particular mutation - in intact tissue. In this case, the researchers worked with mouse pancreatic cells.

Once Suspect Protein Found To Promote DNA Repair, Prevent Cancer
An abundant chromosomal protein that binds to damaged DNA prevents cancer development by enhancing DNA repair, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The protein, HMGB1, was previously hypothesized to block DNA repair, senior author Karen Vasquez, Ph.D., associate professor in M. D.
