A Flash of Blue Light Helped Cells Overcome a Major Division Defect

Cell division represents a complex process. Central to this intricacy is a cellular structure devoid of a membrane, known as the centrosome, consisting of over 200 different components.

Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Malaria Using Anti-Cancer Compound Derivatives

Molecules known for their anti-cancer activity have proven effective in combating Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria.

Oncogene-Induced Senescence Exhibits Dual Role in Tumor Suppression and Progression

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered that a single cancer-causing gene can trigger different responses in cells, with some helping to prevent tumors while others may contribute to their development.

Study Establishes Immune Cell Trafficking as Viable Alzheimer's Target

There is no treatment available today to stop the death of brain cells in neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, in which twisted clumps of a protein called tau accumulate in the brain.

New Insights Into How Toxoplasma Parasites Trigger Host Cell Invasion

Before the parasite Toxoplasma gondii can invade a cell, it has to know it has reached the right place. New research from the Whitehead Institute reveals that the parasite doesn't simply recognize a ready-made doorway into the cell. Instead, it helps create the conditions for its own entry.

AI Decodes Spatial DNA Packaging Patterns Invisible to Researchers

Aging progressively affects the functioning of our body and, among other things, deteriorates the ability of the hematopoietic system- the set of organs and tissues responsible for producing blood cells- to maintain adequate blood cell production.

Neutrophil Activation by NMU Blocks Cytotoxic T Cell Tumor Infiltration

A new study from The Wistar Institute has found a link between the nervous system and the rapid development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), an aggressive form of the disease.

AI-Designed Synthetic Polymers Mimic Natural Peptides to Beat Superbug Resistance

Swimming through the blood, sweat, cells, and tears of all humans are tiny proteins referred to as peptides.

Chronic Inflammation Linked to Heart Changes and Risks

Chronic inflammation, indicated by GlycA levels, has been linked to heart changes and increased cardiovascular risk, highlighting genetic and environmental interactions.

Cancer Cells Hijack Embryonic Repair Mechanisms to Seed Liver Metastases

Most colon cancer deaths are caused by the spread of tumor cells beyond the colon, usually to the liver. In a new study, MIT biologists identified a cellular pathway necessary for colorectal cancer metastasis.

Multi-Receptor Blocking Achieves Superior Antifibrotic Response Over Single-Receptor Inhibition

Three adenosine receptor subtypes that normally send different signals were found to converge on a common pathway that activates cardiac fibroblasts, the scar-forming cells in the heart. Blocking the receptors together produced a much stronger antifibrotic effect than blocking them one at a time.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Construct Physical Barriers Limiting Antitumor T Cell Infiltration

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown pathway that prostate tumors leverage to suppress the immune system by reshaping the tumor microenvironment to resist treatment.

Marine Carbohydrate Therapeutics: From Structural Diversity to Clinical Translation

The ocean contains diverse carbohydrates that could serve as valuable resources for drug development. Algae, marine animals and microorganisms produce polysaccharides and related molecules with structures that are uncommon on land, including distinctive sulfate patterns, sugar linkages and branched architectures.

Latent HIV Viral Proteins Drive Persistent Low-Grade Brain Inflammation During ART

Antiretroviral drugs let people with HIV live full-length lives, but cognitive problems often persist. Some studies have found cognitive impairment in as many as half of people receiving antiretroviral therapy, although estimates vary and many cases do not interfere with daily activities.

UCLA Team Develops Advanced Immunotherapy to Fight Dangerous Arterial Plaques

A UCLA research team has engineered a new type of immune cell that attacks atherosclerotic plaques — the fatty buildup inside artery walls that drives most heart attacks and strokes.

Antidepressant Withdrawal, Not Relapse, Linked to Mood Changes

When people stop taking antidepressants they can feel terrible – their mood can plummet and anxiety can spike.

Infected Macrophages Release Inflammatory Signals That Accelerate Surrounding Lung Infection

In the sickest COVID-19 patients, the SARS-CoV-2 virus doesn't just cause severe damage by directly infecting airway cells.

Breakthrough Study Explains Developmental Origins of the Human Brain

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved independently over hundreds of millions of years.

Researchers Reveal How p53 Tumor-Suppressor Protein Hide From T Cells

One of the biggest challenges in cancer immunotherapy may not be that immune cells are too weak, but that some tumors give them too little to see.

Combining Massive Genomic Cohorts With Single-Cell Analysis to Track Autoimmune Diseases

A research team led by Professor Hong-Hee Won of the Samsung Advanced Institute for Health Sciences and Technology (SAIHST) at Sungkyunkwan University(SKKU) and Samsung Medical Center, with Researcher Hyeonbin Jo as a first author, has revealed the specific mechanisms.
