A new study has shown that microarray technology, which allows researchers to simultaneously compare the degree to which hundreds of genes are expressed (converted into proteins), now makes it possible to more definitively identify skin lesions in mice that are thought to be at high risk of progressing to a type of cancer known as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).By National Institutes of Health (NIH) News Releases Continue Reading Gene Expression Profiling in Mice Can Predict Risk of Skin Lesions Progressing to Cancer - May 20, 2007

Scientists supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) at the National Institutes of Health have created two mouse strains that will permit researchers to trace, in a live animal, the activity of an enzyme believed to play a crucial role both in the normal immune response as well as autoimmunity and B cell tumor development. Their report appears in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.By National Institutes of Health (NIH) News Releases Continue Reading Scientists Develop Method to Track Immune System Enzyme in Live Animals - May 17, 2007

Those who have reached middle age and beyond can remember when deep tans were thought to be beautiful and healthy. Back then, it was not widely recognized that hours spent sunbathing could increase the risk for skin cancer. It was not until the early 1980s that public health experts began to advise against tanning as one important way to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Older Americans concerned about this condition can learn more about it by visiting NIHSeniorHealth.gov, a Web site developed by the National Institutes of Health with the needs of older people in mind.By National Institutes of Health (NIH) News Releases Continue Reading Skin Cancer Information is Newest Offering on NIHSeniorHealth Website - May 17, 2007

Researchers announced today that there is strong evidence a chemical referred to as hexavalent chromium, or chromium 6, causes cancer in laboratory animals when it is consumed in drinking water. The two-year study conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) shows that animals given hexavalent chromium developed malignant tumors.By National Institutes of Health (NIH) News Releases Continue Reading Hexavalent Chromium in Drinking Water Causes Cancer in Lab Animals - May 16, 2007
