Pennsylvania Study Suggests Links Between Fracking and Asthma, Lymphoma in Children
[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]
(HARRISBURG, Pa.) — Children who lived closer to natural gas wells in heavily drilled western Pennsylvania were more likely to develop a relatively rare form of cancer, and nearby residents of all ages had an increased chance of severe asthma reactions, researchers said in reports released Tuesday evening.
The taxpayer-funded research by the University of Pittsburgh adds to a body of evidence suggesting links between the gas industry and certain health problems.
In the reports, the researchers found what they called significant associations between gas industry acti...

Childhood cancer discovery may stop tumour spread before it starts
(University of British Columbia) A new discovery in Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive and often fatal childhood cancer, has uncovered the potential to prevent cancer cells from spreading beyond their primary tumour site. Researchers with the University of British Columbia and BC Cancer have learned that Ewing sarcoma cells--and likely other types of cancer cells--are able to develop a shield that protects them from the harsh environment of the bloodstream and other locations as they search for a new place to settle, or metastasize.

Researchers discover gene linked to bone cancer in children, ID potential novel therapy
(UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center) UNC Lineberger researchers have discovered a gene, OTUD7A, that impacts the development of Ewing sarcoma, a bone cancer that occurs mainly in children. They have also identified a compound that shows potential to block OTUD7A protein activity. Critical relationships between proteins contribute to the development of cancers such as Ewing sarcoma. So, it was a seminal discovery when the UNC researchers found that OTUD7A controls the cancer-causing fusion protein. (Source: EurekAlert! - Cancer)
