Researchers Find Simple Genetic Links for Extreme Traits

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found evidence that people who fall at the extreme high or low ends of certain traits, such as cholesterol, blood glucose, height, and age at menopause, are more likely to have a simple genetic explanation than previously thought.

Extracellular Acidosis Disrupts Internal Transport Systems of Living Cells

A new scientific study led by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) describes the mechano-chemical mechanism by which the acidity of the cellular environment destabilizes microtubules, the "avenues" that organize internal cellular traffic.

New TriPcide Antibiotics Kill Dormant MRSA Without Resistance

The study on TriPcides reveals their ability to combat MRSA and dormant bacteria, offering a new strategy to address antimicrobial resistance in public health.

Study Identifies Potential Metabolic Biomarkers for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Tumors

Ceramides-lipid molecules in cells that affect many physiological functions including cell differentiation, migration, and death-and their metabolites have been implicated in the development of cancer and other conditions.

Researchers Link Brain Extracellular Matrix Deterioration to Postmenopausal Memory Loss

A largely overlooked space between cells in women's brains may hold the key to understanding memory loss tied to estrogen decline after menopause, reports a new preclinical Northwestern Medicine study.

Inflammatory Cytokines Trigger Higher Protein Levels as a Natural Defense Mechanism Against Disease

A new study from researchers at the University of Chicago provides important insight into how the pancreas protects itself during inflammation, pointing to promising new directions for treating pancreatitis.

New 3D-Printed Trays Help Produce Functioning Human Gut Organoids Twice as Fast

Thanks to special 3D-printed scaffolding trays designed by experts at Cincinnati Children's, researchers can now produce larger versions of functional human gut organoids twice as fast as previous methods-and these organoids grow their own nerve cells.

Scientists Capture Live-Action Footage of Housekeeping Immune Cells Engulfing Melanoma

Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have captured, for the first time, 'housekeeping' immune cells actively attacking and engulfing live melanoma cells – a discovery that could change the way we approach treatment for one of Australia's most common and deadly cancers.

High Protein Levels Bypass Functional BRCA Defenses to Generate Toxic Double-Strand Genomic Breaks

When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that protect and repair DNA in cells.

Dental Pulp Stem Cell Subsets Triggers Rapid Cellular Senescence and Tooth Decay

With age, teeth get increasingly brittle and susceptible to damage from tooth decay, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Teeth have an intrinsic capability to regenerate, a process which is driven by dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) which replenish the dental pulp including the dentin-producing cells called odontoblasts.

Scientists Find Key Genetic Boundary That Dictates Immune System Failure

Not all broken genes fail in the same way: some simply stop working, while others interfere with what still works.

Allison Institute Platform Utilizes Spatial Profiling to Locate Protective Cellular Niches

Researchers with the James P. Allison Institute™ at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a new gene expression signature within tumors that can help identify patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who are more likely to experience lasting benefits from combined immunotherapy treatment.

New Epigenetic Study Discovers Inheritance Patterns That Defy Mendel's Laws

Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring.

Polymer Platforms Help Focus Immune Attack on Cancerous Tumors

Conventional immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, can reinvigorate T cells but typically benefit less than 30% of patients.

Genetic Engineering Creates an Immune System Cloak to Extend Bacterial Drug Circulation

While previous research from Johns Hopkins University is successfully completing clinical trials, University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy Assistant Professor Kaitlin Dailey is expanding on that work to more specifically target tumors that are difficult or impossible to access, especially those associated with pancreatic cancer-one of the deadliest types.
