A drug compound that stops cancer cells from spreading throughout the body

Via a mouse model, OHSU physician-scientists lead effort to hone a drug that inhibits cancer cells from spreading to other areas in the body Fighting cancer means killing cancer cells. However, oncologists know that it’s also important to halt the movement of cancer cells before they spread throughout the body. New research, published today in

Antioxidant drug knocks down multiple sclerosis-like disease in mice

“These results are really exciting. This could be a new front in the fight against MS.” Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have discovered that an antioxidant designed by scientists more than a dozen years ago to fight damage within human cells significantly helps symptoms in mice that have a multiple sclerosis-like disease. The

OHSU researchers develop new drug approach that could lead to cures for wide range of diseases

A team led by a longtime Oregon Health & Science University researcher has demonstrated in mice what could be a revolutionary new technique to cure a wide range of human diseases — from cystic fibrosis to cataracts to Alzheimer’s disease — that are caused by “misfolded” protein molecules. Misfolded protein molecules, caused by gene mutation,
