which can cause cell death and organ injury due to DNA damage. Although some agents tested by the military can provide some protection against radiation sickness when taken prior to radiation exposure,
activates the LPA2 receptor to protect against radiation-induced cell death. The researchers also previously identified an LPA-like compound that protected mice from radiation-induced death
but it did not specifically target the LPA2 receptor or possess the desired drug-like potency required for clinical use.
and has been shown to be a central regulator of cell proliferation, growth, and death. It is of such widespread and fundamental importance that animals cannot live without it.
The researchers found that hormone therapy plus radiation reduced cancer deaths by nearly 50 percent in men aged 76 to 85 compared to men who only received hormone therapy.
and cause cancer deaths. Hormone therapy lowers or blocks the levels of testosterone and other androgens (male hormones) that feed prostate cancer tumors.
Among men age 65 to 75 years old radiation plus hormone therapy was associated with a reduction in prostate cancer deaths of 57 percent relative to hormone therapy alone
Similarly among men age 76 to 85 years old radiation plus hormone therapy was associated with a reduction in prostate cancer deaths of 49 percent relative to hormone therapy alone
In both groups radiation plus hormone therapy was associated also with about one-third fewer deaths from any cause.

Their discovery makes it likely that similar drug-related deaths can be prevented in the future. In 1997 troglitazone was approved for use in the United states as one of the first drugs designed to treat type 2 diabetes.
The researchers cite the accumulation of bile acids substances produced by the liver that promote digestion and aid in the absorption of fats as the most likely suspect in the deaths.
If they accumulate in the liver they can cause cell death. Increased bile acid concentrations in the liver may lead to liver damage.

About 200 million years ago GD 61 entered its death throes and became a white dwarf yet parts of its planetary system survived.
It causes more than 600000 deaths a year from cryptococcal pneumonia and meningoencephalitis accounting for a third of all AIDS-related deaths.
Researchers have been interested in the sexual cycle of Cryptococcus because it is the only way this fungal pathogen can produce spores to infect its host.
Mycorrhiza for instance is a fungus capable of forming an association with the vast majority of land plants.
