New method could be used to develop more effective treatments for cancer, metabolic disorders
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have developed a new method that makes it possible to control human hormones and metabolism. One of the study’s perspectives suggests that the method could be used to develop more effective medicines to treat cancer and a range of metabolic disorders in the future.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen, in collaboration with their Swiss colleagues at the University Hospital of Bern, have cracked the code for controlling a group of enzymes that affect our metabolism.
The researchers findings could help us avoid diseases ranging from high cholesterol to infertility to certain types of cancer, which are all due, among other things, to hormonal imbalances.

Research data may provide new treatment options for hormone-dependent breast cancer
Notch proteins are key regulators of growth and differentiation of both normal and cancer cells. Researchers in Turku, Finland, have now demonstrated that the activities of distinct Notch family members are modified differently by phosphorylation. These results can be used in the development of new cancer treatments, especially for hormone-dependent breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women in Finland and other Western countries. Due to the availability of hormonal therapies, the estrogen-responsive breast cancer cases have a relatively good prognosis as compared to other breast cancer subtypes. However, some of them can also develop into an aggressive, metastatic disease, for which new types of therapeutic ideas are needed.

Dr Alanna Rebelo says Cape Town needs to manage vegation properly as the risk for more fires is extremely high.
Postdoctoral Researcher at Stellenbosch University s Department of Conservation Ecology & Entomology Dr Alanna Rebelo wrote an insightful article for The Conversation, and explains to Refilwe Moloto why solutions to fire management in Cape Town and in the Table Mountain National Park are complex.
We need to be managing our vegetation well. We know the fynbos burns. It burns on average every 12 to 15 years.
