New technology reveals experimental drugs that help suppress the growth and spread of tumor

A new technology that allows researchers to peer inside malignant tumors shows that two experimental drugs can normalize aberrant blood vessels, oxygenation, and other aspects of the tumor microenvironment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), helping to suppress the tumor's growth and spread, UT Southwestern researchers report.

Researchers perform massive and detailed cellular energy audit

TK Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the cellular energy currency that is as valuable to the human body as the dollar is to the US economy. Too high or too low levels of ATP in some cell types have been linked to a variety of diseases.

Researchers identify a new type of PII-like proteins in Lactobacillus hilgardii LMG 7934

The team is led by Associate Professor Ayrat Kayumov (Department of Genetics, Kazan Federal University). In this research, the scientists not only performed genome sequencing, but also found a completely new type of PII-Like Protein PotN.

Developing new fluorescent metal sensors to explore the gastrointestinal tract

A University of Houston researcher is developing a new set of metal sensors that will be able to function in the gastrointestinal tract, a low oxygen environment, to examine how gut bacteria respond when trace metal nutrients, like iron and zinc, are thrown out of balance either through diet or disease.

Researchers solve debate on molecular events involved in the process of respiration

Respiration is essentially a rudimentary process that occurs in all living things, enabling them to create energy, remain healthy, and live.

Human activity can aggravate effects of nutrient pollution in marine ecosystems

Excessive nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, have devastating effects on coastal marine ecosystems by causing algal blooms that deplete oxygen in the water, killing marine life.

RNA-based therapeutic approach could be used to cure hereditary diseases

Short RNA molecules can be used as medication. Their effectiveness is based on the genetic information they carry: therapeutic RNA can bind to the body's own RNA and thus influence how it functions.

New fluorescent probe to detect damaged mitochondria could help treat neurodegenerative disorders

Scientists have developed a new, multipurpose probe that is capable of detecting the programmed destruction of faulty mitochondria with pinpoint precision.

Trace fossils give clearer picture of early diversity in marine life

If you could dive down to the ocean floor nearly 540 million years ago just past the point where waves begin to break, you would find an explosion of life--scores of worm-like animals and other sea creatures tunneling complex holes and structures in the mud and sand--where before the environment had been mostly barren.

Harnessing natural enzymes to create complex, oxygen-containing molecules

Chemists at Scripps Research have efficiently created three families of complex, oxygen-containing molecules that are normally obtainable only from plants.

Researchers develop new drugs to eradicate parasitic worms

In this breakthrough method, parasitic worms are prevented from using alternative metabolism routes offered by microbes living inside them.

Intensified rainstorms due to warming climate could offset heat damage to crops

Intensified rainstorms predicted for many parts of the United States as a result of warming climate may have a modest silver lining: they could more efficiently water some major crops, and this would at least partially offset the far larger projected yield declines caused by the rising heat itself.

Mitochondrial reprogramming may offer new treatment strategies against breast cancer

A study performed has revealed that oxygen-deprived breast cancer cells transmit messages that cause oncogenic modifications in the surrounding healthy cells.

Researchers isolate fragile protein complex from heat-loving bacteria

Goethe University scientists have discovered what is probably the oldest enzyme found in cellular respiration. Now, the team has successfully isolated a highly delicate protein complex known as “Rnf” from the heat-loving bacterium called Thermotoga maritima.

Study indicates a powerful treatment for pulmonary fibrosis

A pre-clinical study led by scientists at Cincinnati Children's demonstrates that in mice the drug barasertib reverses the activation of fibroblasts that cause dangerous scar tissue to build up in the lungs of people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
