Italy is second in the world in the field of robotic surgery, with as many as 1585 cases treated in 29 hospitals in Italy in 2007. The United States hold the world record with 545 of the 719 installed systems worldwide, against 119 installed in Europe. Italy also exceeds France (18 hospitals with a robot in the operating room), Germany (13) and United Kingdom (9).

The tumor suppressor gene pRb2/p130 may provide the first independent prognostic biomarker in cases of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), according to an international collaboration of researchers, including scientists at the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine at the College of Science and Technology at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, the Department of Human Pathology and...read
A new discovery on the role of the protein cdk9-55 in the regeneration of muscle tissue and in cell differentiation could lead to find new therapies for the reconstruction of muscle tissue damaged by disease, accidents or aging, as reported by the researchers of the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine of Temple University in Philadelphia, and of the University of Siena. In...read

Src (short for sarcoma) is a family of proto-oncogenic tyrosine kinases active in many cancer tumors, including medulloblastoma, the most common malignant cancer in children. Src represents one of the most promising targets for cancer therapy.
A recent study shows that pyrazolo-[3,4-d]–pyrimidine-derivatives, designed to target Src, may be effective in interfering with the cell cycle and...read
