An experimental new breast cancer vaccine has completely eliminated a type of breast cancer tumour in tests on mice, say researchers.

The vaccine targets breast cancers that grow wildly in response to a growth factor called HER-2, which is prevalent in about 25 percent of women with breast cancer

Researchers think they have found a key that could enable them to suppress the formation of cancers of the esophagus, breast, head and neck.

After studying human tissue samples, they found that Fbx4, a naturally occurring enzyme, plays an important role in stopping another protein called Cyclin D1 that scientists think contributes to the early stages of cancer development

Regular moderate physical activity for three to four hours daily can help curb effects of obesity linked to genetics, new study has found.

Researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and now of the University of Miami say that variations of a particular gene, known as the fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene, are widely acknowledged to be linked with a high body mass index

Children with older fathers are more likely to develop bipolar disorder, a mental illness that fluctuates between intense depression and mania, Swedish and British researchers said in a study.

Previous studies have linked increasing paternal age with schizophrenia and autism, but not bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression. Children born to fathers ages 30 to 34 were 11 percent more likely to be diagnosed as adults with the condition than those born to men 20 to 24. The diagnosis was 37 percent more likely in offspring of fathers 55 and older, the examination of Swedish health records found

Medical researchers will take an innovative approach to studying a Lyme-Like Illness that occurs in Texas and some other states.

There are conflicting reports about what causes Southern-Tick Associated Rash Illness (STARI), found in the southeastern and south central United States, and how infectious it is
