Effective drugs for treating a chemotherapy-resistant form of Lymphoma might already be on the market according to a study that has pieced together a chemical pathway involved in the disease. By following the trail of several molecular flags that mark this type of cancer, researchers have discovered that anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat arthritis will shrink Lymphoma tumors in mice.

Seeking ways to improve blood recovery after chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant, researchers have discovered that fat cells, which accumulate in bone marrow as people age, inhibit the marrow’s ability to produce new blood cells. Their study suggests that blocking this fatty infiltration could help enhance patients’ recovery after transplant.

Investigators have discovered that a waste disposal protein is the key to cancer tumor suppression in a process known as autophagy — a process in which cancer cells eat themselves.

A single gene can control growth in cancers related to the Epstein-Barr virus and that existing therapeutics can inactivate it, according to new research.
