Research Reevaluates Crucial Microtubule Stabilizing Protein in Dementia Progression

A protein named tau, which has been highly implicated in the world's No. 1 cause of dementia - Alzheimer's disease - and several other neurodegenerative disorders, may spur these diseases in a way that differs greatly from the pathological pathway usually ascribed to it.

Tireless Stem Cells Drive Continuous Renewal Across High Friction Human Intestines

Digestion is hard on the cells that line the human gut, and they are constantly being shed and replaced. This renewal is driven by a population of tireless stem cells. These stem cells can both replace the various types of intestinal cells that have been lost as well as renew themselves.

Engineered Probiotic Bacteria Deliver Immune Therapy Directly Into Pancreatic Tumors

Cancer immunotherapies have transformed treatment for many cancers, but pancreatic cancer remains especially difficult to treat. One major reason is that pancreatic tumors often create a "cold" tumor microenvironment, where the tumor prevents immune cells from mounting a strong attack.

New Research Links CALB2 Gene to Mechanoresistance in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

When a cancer cell leaves the original tumor to spread to a new, far away location, it first has to survive what most cells cannot: periodic high force moments in the vessels and heart of up to 5,000 dynes per centimeter squared as it circulates throughout the body.
