Bill Rosendahl, Los Angeles City Council Member: 'Medical Marijuana Saved My Life'

L.A. Councilman Bill Rosendahl's cancer is in remission -- and he credits medical marijuana for this. Wednesday, in a blog post on The Huffington Post, he became the first sitting elected official to detail using pot while in office in hopes he'd further the cause.

Inexpensive, Accurate Way To Detect Prostate Cancer Could Facilitate Commercially Available, At-Home Urine Tests. 

By Keith Donavan and Jessica Arter.


Early screening for prostate cancer could become as easy for men as personal pregnancy testing is for women, thanks to UC Irvine research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

After more than a decade of work, UC Irvine chemists have created a way to clearly identify clinically usable markers for prostate cancer in urine, meaning that the disease could be detected far sooner, with greater accuracy and at dramatically lower cost. The same technology could potentially be used for bladder and multiple myeloma cancers, which also shed identifiable markers in urine.

"Our goal is a device the size of a home pregnancy test priced around $10. You would buy it at the drugstore or the grocery store and test yourself," said the study's corresponding author, Reginald Penner, UC Irvine Chancellor's Professor of chemistry. "We're on the verge of a very important breakthrough in a new era of personal health management." .

Scientists make breast cancer advance that turns previous thinking on its head.


 UEA scientists make breast cancer advance that turns previous thinking on its head Scientists at the University of East Anglia have made an advance in breast cancer research which shows how some enzymes released by cancerous cells could have a protective function.

New research published today in the Journal of Biological Chemistry reveals that an enzyme called MMP-8 (matrix metalloproteinase-8) could be acting as a locator to the immune system, which then becomes activated to attack tumours. It was originally thought that the production of MMPs by breast cancer cells worked to promote cancer growth.

Lead researcher Prof Dylan Edwards from UEA's School of Biological Sciences said: "MMPs are a family of enzymes that are released from cancer cells. They were once thought to act like molecular scissors to snip away at the scaffolding structures outside cells and clear a path for the cancer cells to invade and spread to other organs.

"Drugs that target this broad family of enzymes were trialled to treat cancer in the 1990s but largely failed. This led us to think that not all of these enzymes were bad guys that promoted tumour growth and spread."
