A study led by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, has catapulted the field of regenerative medicine significantly forward, proving in principle that a human genetic disease can be cured using a combination of gene therapy and induced pluripotent stem cell technology. The study, published in the May 31, 2009, early online edition of Nature, is a major milestone on the path from the laboratory to the clinic.

Fox Chase Cancer Center investigators report that a two-drug blockade of mTOR signaling appears safe in metastatic kidney cancer in a phase I trial. Early data suggests that a combination of temsirolimus and bryostatin may be active in patients with rare forms of renal cell cancer, which are less likely to respond to other targeted therapies.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have uncovered variation around two genes that are associated with an increased risk of testicular cancer, which is the most common cancer among young men — it now affects seven out of 100,000 white men in the United States each year. The discovery, published in the May 31, 2009, online issue of Nature Genetics, is the first step toward understanding which men are at high risk of disease.
