A critical gene called COT (also known as MAO3K8), which is involved in melanoma growth has been pinpointed as per findings by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. The gene provides a framework for discovering ways to tackle cancer drug resistance.

Senior author Levi Garraway, of Dana-Farber and Harvard Medical School, said there is a critical need to understand resistance mechanisms to be smarter upfront for designing drugs that could yield more lasting clinical responses.

From in.news.yahoo.com:

To explore the basis of this drug resistance, Garraway and his colleagues applied a systematic approach involving hundreds of different proteins called kinases.

From this work, the researchers identified several intriguing proteins, but the one that particularly stood out was COT.

While their initial findings were noteworthy, Garraway and his co-workers sought additional proof of the role of COT in melanoma drug resistance.

They analyzed human cancer cells, searching for ones that exhibit B-RAF mutations as well as elevated COT levels. The scientists successfully identified such “double positive” cells and further showed that the cells are indeed resistant to the effects of the RAF inhibitor.

“These were enticing results, but the gold standard for showing that something is truly relevant is to examine samples from melanoma patients,” said Garraway.

The study is published in the journal Nature.

Aromatherapy could be used as a natural way of treating obesity with no side effects. A massage with pure essential oils could be more than just effective for really controlling the body appearance and warding off the extra accumulated fat.

Essential oils also demonstrate the ability of advancing cellular renewal by improved circulation, hydration, and toxin removal from the body.

Applying oil to the areas where fat has accumulated helps reduce the fat level and gives you a well shaped body. Essential oils are not just sweet smelling, but can also make your digestive system function well. One must take care to use the oils moderately and mix it with a carrier oil like sandalwood and jasmine oil.

Cellulite can be termed as mother of obesity. This problem starts when water and fat cellular waste combined (form a mass) are trapped in the tissues below the surface of the skin. This leads to wrinkles, swelling and visible bumps in the skin (usually in hips, thighs, legs, butts and stomach) and these are the main symptoms of cellulite.

The major causes of such a disorder are bad diet and routine, hormonal imbalance, lack of exercise, having less water, having too much of salt or sugar or caffeine, poor posture and stress.

The essential oils are second to none when it comes to reinstating the mineral balance of the body and losing extra kilos under the belt.

The “waves of size zero” have finally subdued, for the betterment of fashion models and fitness conscious girls and women. The best part is that size zero is now considered too childish these days.

The Australian government has mulled a fresh ban on skinny models in an attempt to prevent glamorization of unhealthy eating patterns among young kids.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

A controversy sparked off recently in international media when the pictures of Polish model, Kamilla Wladyka, were airbrushed before being featured on the cover page of a health magazine. With health magazines featuring size zero models, one simply doesn’t know where to draw the line between ‘realistic’ health magazines and ‘superficial’ fashion magazines. The size zero concept which was responsible for body image issues and eating disorders among thousands of women is finally being rebuked by nutritionists, celebrity photographers and youngsters all over the world.

Model Nayanika Chatterjee says, “I’m on a holiday right now but I’m more concerned about how I will manage to fit into those tiny, designer clothes once I’m back for the shoots. Even gaining 2kg can put a lot of stress on us. I’ve never been skinny. In fact, my size remains the same ever since I started modelling. However, one does see skinny models dominating the ramps now and I fail to understand why the designers expect us to fit into these really tiny clothes. I’ve never been in favour of this skinny trend. I wish the young girls could understand that there is a difference between being skinny and being healthy. And not everybody’s built is meant to be skinny but you can definitely choose to be healthy.”

Dr. Honey Khanna, head dietician at Max Hospital suggests that similar stringent actions like those imposed by the Australian government should be implemented in the Indian fashion industry too.

The studies suggest that an hour a day of exercise is enough to reduce fat. The exercise basically reduces the activity of gene “fatso” in teenagers.

From timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

Scientists are finding evidence that both lifestyle and genes causes obesity and they’re just learning how much diet and exercise can offset the inherited risk.

Exercising an hour or more daily made a big difference for the teens who were genetically predisposed to obesity. Their waist measurements, body mass index scores and body fat were the same, on average, as the other teenagers with regular genes. 

Also if the exercise is taken as an hour of your favorite sport will act the same. Exercise do significantly affect on those who are genetically predisposed to obesity.

According to a recent study, the risk of some kinds of lung cancer can be reduced to a considerable extent among smokers if they eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.

H. Bas Bueno-de-Mesquita of the Netherlands-based National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, said a mix of different fruits and vegetables may reduce risk of cancers, especially among smokers, if it is not possible for them to get rid of smoking.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

“Fruits and vegetables contain many different bioactive compounds, and it makes sense to assume that it is important that you not only eat the recommended amounts, but also consume a rich mix of these bioactive compounds by consuming a large variety,” Bueno-de-Mesquita said.

The risk of squamous cell carcinoma decreased substantially when a variety of fruits and vegetables were eaten, the study concluded.

While previous research has shown the influence of the quantity of fruits and vegetables on cancer development, Stephen Hecht, editorial board member for Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, said this is one of the first to evaluate diversity of fruit and vegetable consumption, rather than quantity.

“The results are very interesting and demonstrate a protective effect in smokers,” he said.

The study was published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
