Light-Based Technique Reveals How Extracellular Vesicles Interact With Cells

The tiny bubbles that carry signals between cells throughout the body were discovered decades ago, but precisely what they contain and how their cargo affects recipient cells is still largely a mystery.

Comprehensive Gene Maps Reveal Hidden Networks Behind Disease Traits

Today's biomedical researchers are relentlessly searching for genes that drive disease, with the goal of creating therapies that target those genes to restore health.

Visualizing How Cancer Seed Cells Evade Brain Immunity

Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Brain metastasis is particularly severe and affects 10-30% of patients with advanced lung, breast, and melanoma cancers.

Researchers Elucidate Microtubule-Mediated Cell Signal Transduction

The most diverse functions of a cell in the human body – from cell division and differentiation to motility and programmed cell death – are controlled by signaling proteins within the cell. This includes the immune system and the reading of genetic information.

AI-Driven Method Uncovers Hidden Cancer Drivers

University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments.

How Tumor Stem Cells Hijack Neutrophils to Evade Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care by training the immune system to detect and destroy tumors.

PLAMseq Revolutionizes Simultaneous Analysis of Genome Proteins and Their Locations

A team from the Andalusian Centre for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) has developed an innovative technique called PLAMseq (proximity-labelled affinity-purified mass spectrometry plus sequencing) that, for the first time, allows simultaneous analysis of chromatin-associated proteins and their location in the genome in a single experiment.

New Comprehensive Atlas Transforms Understanding of Neutrophil Diversity

Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body and the first to respond to infection or tissue damage.

Engineered Gut Bacteria With MiRNA Nanoparticles To Reverse IBD

Biomimetic nanoparticles delivering microRNA to gut bacteria enhance protective metabolites, repair intestinal barriers, and alleviate colitis symptoms.

New Label-Free Breakthrough for Studying Bacterial Shape Diversity

Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has remained a major challenge, especially for species that can't be grown in the lab.

Study Reveals ATM-Driven Mechanism Behind Telomere-Induced Senescence

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres-the protective caps at the chromosome ends-those caps eventually become too short to prevent chromosome ends from being recognized as DNA breaks.

Bird flu withstands human fever

Avian influenza viruses pose a specific risk to people, as they can multiply at temperatures exceeding a normal fever, which is a defense mechanism used by the body to halt viruses, according to new research conducted by Cambridge and Glasgow universities.

Mitochondrial Mutation Found to Rewire Immune Function

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death.

Scientists Map How Transcription Factors Interpret DNA Sequences

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.

Nobel Prize-Awarded Material That Puncture and Kill Bacteria

Bacteria that multiply on surfaces are a major headache in healthcare when they gain a foothold on, for example, implants or in catheters.

DNA Rigidity Inside the Nucleosome Regulates INO80 Positioning

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the physical structure and shape of DNA, not just genetic information, are key components of DNA transcription.
