Understanding the Pathways to Cancer May 30, 2010 The complex mechanisms and pathways behind genetic and epigenetic changes underpin the work of Marcella Macaluso, Ph.D., a research associate professor and Director of the Genetics & Epigenetics Program at the Sbarro Health Research Organization Center for Biotechnology Sbarro Institute Joins Conference on HPV May 25, 2010 Naples conference to discuss prevention of HPV-related diseases April 27, 2010 Eva Surmacz, Ph.D., associate professor in Biology at Temple University and the Director of the Obesity and Cancer Program at SHRO studies how the cytokine leptin can cause cancer and interfere with anti-cancer therapies. Study: High fat Diet Ups Strokes in Postmenopausal Women April 27, 2010 Post-menopausal women who consume the most daily dietary fat had a 40 percent higher incidence of strokes compared with women who ate the least amount, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association International Stroke Conference 2010. New Pyrimidine Compounds May Lead to Improved Treatments for Childhood Brain Cancer April 7, 2010 Src represents one of the most promising targets for cancer therapy. A new study by researchers from the Sbarro Health Research Center for Biotechnology and the Human Health Foundation (www.hhfonlus.org), shows that pyrazolo-[3,4-d]–pyrimidine-derivatives, designed to target Src, may be effective in interfering with the cell cycle and causing cancer cell death in medulloblastoma, a childhood brain cancer. The results were published in FASEB (The Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology). March 22, 2010 New online forum puts pain treatment in the spotlight.

Why do Stem Cells Age? New study sheds light on senescence process January 22, 2010 Researchers from the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia and the Human Health Foundation in Spoleto, Italy have found that MECP2, a gene that modifies the chromatin in the cell, has important role in stem cell aging. Changes in tumor suppressor gene suggest a heritable susceptibility to retinoblastoma January 20, 2010 Researchers working at the Sbarro
Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA and
at the University of Siena in Siena, Italy, have found that the downregulation, or reduction, of
the tumor suppressor gene 16INK4A may be a novel marker of the heritable susceptibility for the
disease. The study appears in the January is Glaucoma Awareness Month: Have You Scheduled an Eye Exam? January 20, 2010 Glaucoma, a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and destroy eyesight, affects close to four million Americans, although half are not aware that they have it. Worldwide, the World Health Organization reports that glaucoma is the primary cause of blindness for about 4.5 million people With its painless and gradual loss of vision, glaucoma may have no early warning signs, but it can be detected during a comprehensive dilated eye exam.

"National Mesothelioma Awareness Day" Introduced in Congress October 2, 2009 Few Americans know the truth about mesothelioma, a deadly and incurable cancer cauesd by exposure to asbestos. Heavy and widespread use of asbestos through most of the last century, coupled with a 20-50 year latency in tumor development, make mesothelioma today a lethal threat to tens of millions of Americans. Yet, the U.S. has ignored the need for research to develop effective treaments, and still has not even banned asbestos.
