Nagoya University Team Identifies BCAT1 Enzyme as Key Driver of Cardiac Fibrosis

Heart failure often develops after a heart attack because excessive collagen-based scar tissue forms during repair. While collagen is necessary to reinforce scars, disease and chronic inflammation can cause overproduction, which stiffens the heart muscle and impairs its pumping ability.

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Maps Neuroblastoma Intratumoral Heterogeneity

Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor found outside of the brain in children, yet why some children respond well to treatment while others do not has remained poorly understood. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists and their collaborators built one of the most comprehensive datasets of neuroblastoma cells to date, using it to define the tumor's cell types and identify a gene signature marking a malignant cell population tied to poor prognosis.
