Study Identifies Enzymatic Regulation Mechanisms Involved in Tumor Survival and Resistance Pathways

Decoding of messenger RNA (mRNA) occurs during translation, the vital cellular process that builds proteins. Errors in this process are known to lead to cancer growth.

Novel Molecular Bridge Links Coagulation Cascade with Cancer Hormonal Environment

New Cleveland Clinic research published in Cancer Cell shows that people with glioblastoma have more active platelets, which are cells involved in blood clotting. Platelets also communicate with other cells and can influence immune activity.

Nanoparticle Displayed Antibody Fragments Ease Asthma Associated Goblet Cell Hyperplasia

Airway mucus is part of innate lung defense, but when production overwhelms clearance, it obstructs airflow and worsens disease.

Unraveling the Molecular Complexity of SARS-CoV-2 Genome Regulation

A study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and University of California, Riverside (UCR) School of Medicine has identified new targets for antiviral drugs against coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Innate Immune Sensor cGAS Acts as Nuclear Metabolic Regulator

Scientists at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered an unexpected role for a key innate immune protein, revealing how it helps regulate cholesterol levels inside cells and influences tumor growth and treatment response.

Microgravity Drives the Metabolic Switch From Glycolysis to Oxidative Phosphorylation

Earth-based hiPSC models have transformed disease research but remain limited by cellular immaturity, a strong reliance on glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and incomplete tissue architecture.

CRISPR Screen Uncovers COMPASS Pathway Role in Suppressing Gut Autoimmunity

Trillions of bacteria live in the human gut without triggering an immune response. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have now discovered a gene-regulatory pathway that helps maintain this delicate balance.

Mitochondrial Iron Accumulation Drives Perforin Mediated Cancer Cell Death

For decades, scientists have known that a protein made by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in the immune system, called perforin, can kill tumor cells by punching a hole in the cell wall and injecting proteases called granzymes, which kill the cell.

Langerhans Cell Projections Transmit Surface Microbial Signals to Stem Cells

As the steadfast protector of the body's interior, the skin must be able to swiftly respond to stressors from the outside world and then return to a steady state in order to maintain everyday operations.

Enzyme Study Proves Active Site Mutations Alone Cannot Dictate Selectivity

Enzymes are the molecular tools of life. They accelerate chemical reactions and are able to distinguish very precisely between molecules that are similar to one another. The high selectivity of many enzymes is key to the production of important medicines such as penicillin and cyclosporine.

New Computational Tool Resolves Evolutionary Paradox of Genome Expansion

A genome contains all of the DNA of every living organism, but its contents don't stop there – most of these structures also contain snippets of DNA that can copy and paste themselves to "infect" a genome, expanding its size. Precisely why that happens remains a mystery.

Are Biodegradable Plastics Really Breaking Down After Disposal?

Findings on biodegradable plastics in landfill leachate reveal complex interactions between polymer chemistry and microbial genetics affecting degradation.

UCLA Health Study Identifies Strategy to Boost Strength and Longevity of Cancer Fighting T Cells

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a promising new strategy to make cancer-fighting immune cells stronger and potentially longer-lasting, a discovery that could help improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies that use a patient's own immune cells to attack cancer.

Major Virology Breakthrough Identifies Third Known Family of Bacteria Infecting RNA Viruses

Thriving alongside trillions of bacteria in the human digestive tract is a vast population of viruses. Ever since one such denizen of the gut microbiome, known as picobirnavirus, was first spotted decades ago, researchers thought it directly infected human tissue and played a role in gastrointestinal illness.

Science Study Profiles Over 600,000 Cells to Map Gene Activity Across Entire Adult Fish

Viewed from above, Danionella cerebrum offers a rare sight in a vertebrate: its brain, visible through the top of its head. Since the species was adopted for neuroscience research in 2018 and formally described in 2021, the tiny, transparent fish has drawn rapidly growing interest for its unique biology.
