Researchers face challenges with stem cell lines that carry major DNA damage

Stem cells are a type of cell that can be configured to transform into almost any sort of cell in the body. They are presently used in research on organ development as well as in the initial phases of embryo development.

Circadian clock impacts cell growth, metabolism, and tumor development

Scientists from the University of California, Irvine, have defined how the circadian clock impacts cell growth, metabolism, and tumor progression in a new study.

Genetic mapping helps to analyze how cancer cells grow

Acknowledging which cells lend credence to which regions of cancer can help us better understand how a tumor has expanded and developed over time, such as how it has altered genetically.

Cedars-Sinai builds bio-realistic and intricate computer models of brain cells

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have produced an unprecedented number of bio-realistic and intricate computer models of individual brain cells.

Banp indispensable for cell-cycle progression and cell survival

Zebrafish mutants were found by a team of researchers about 15 years ago. These zebrafish’s eyes did not mature properly, which explains why they are much smaller than the eyes of zebrafish found in the wild.

Circadian clocks involve primarily in fat cell growth

According to two studies conducted by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, the circadian clocks that keep the body and its cells synchronized to the 24-hour day-night cycle are severely disrupted.

Researchers identify key molecular differences between initial and metastatic tumors

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine claim to have discovered significant molecular variations between cancer cells that adhere to an initial tumor and those that spread out to develop distant tumors while researching the fatal form of breast cancer known as triple negative.

Researchers report the identification of novel small molecules that stimulate human adaptive immune responses

An antibody that is successfully used to treat a variety of tumors has been replaced with a tiny molecule that researchers from Tel Aviv University and the University of Lisbon have jointly found and manufactured.

Researchers create CAR T cells for cancer immunotherapy

In CAR T-cell immunotherapy, T cells taken from the patient’s own blood are modified to contain so-called chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), which provide the T cells the ability to target and eradicate tumor cells.

Optogenetic control of mitochondria–lysosome contacts induce mitochondrial fission with spatiotemporal accuracy

Researchers from UC, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and the University at Buffalo demonstrated that light-activated proteins can help normalize dysfunction within cells.

Researchers analyze how cannabis cells make cannabinoids

Plant biologists have outlined the elevated “hacks” that cannabis cells use to produce cannabinoids (THC/CBD) for the first time. Although many biotechnology firms are currently attempting to engineer THC/CBD outside of the plant in yeast or cell cultures, it is still unclear how the plant does it innately.

Research findings likely to help identify key differences between effective and flawed immune systems

T cells, a special class of white blood cells, defend the body and kill infected or foreign tissue. In an organ called the thymus, they learn to distinguish between proteins that are helpful and those that are harmful.

Study discovers a molecular mechanism that confers special physical properties to chromosomes in dividing human cells

The Gerlich Group at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) has identified a molecular process that gives chromosomes in dividing human cells unique physical characteristics that permit faithful transmission to the progeny.

Researchers develop targeted immunotherapy to destroy tumor cells

A minimally invasive technique was created and improved by scientists at Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) to develop immunotherapeutic cancer treatments.

Active immune cells provide great protection against ischemic stroke

According to research published today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation by neurologists and immunologists at the University of Pittsburgh, a special subgroup of white blood cells provides mice with quick-acting and long-lasting protection against ischemic stroke.
