Single-Molecule Optical Tweezers Visualize Real-Time Dynamic Protein and DNA Interactions

A protein that's essential to every cell's ability to turn off unnecessary genes is well known for its key function of compacting genes and its connection to cancer when it undergoes mutation.

Invasive E. coli Strains Promote Host Invasion of Harmless Strains

When scientists assess how dangerous a bacterium is, the first question often seems simple: can it be stopped or killed?

Electron Microscopy Imaging Confirms Piezo1-Dependent Axonal Sheath Structural Remodeling

Researchers at Upstate Medical University have identified a key mechanism that helps determine the length of myelin, the protective coating that surrounds many nerve fibers and allows signals to travel efficiently through the nervous system.

Single-Molecule Optical Tweezers Visualize Real-Time Dynamic Protein and DNA Interactions

A protein that's essential to every cell's ability to turn off unnecessary genes is well known for its key function of compacting genes and its connection to cancer when it undergoes mutation. But until now, scientists weren't quite sure how the protein gets where it needs to go to keep genes bound up so they aren't activated.

Single-Cell Metabolic Profiling Identifies Key Bioenergetic Targets in Human Tumor Tissue

Immune cells can reach head and neck tumors, but once there, many stop functioning. This helps explain why immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors - which have transformed treatment for some cancers - benefit only 17%–23% of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. These are cancers that arise from cells lining the mouth, throat and voicebox.

Singlet Oxygen Oxidizes Electron-Rich Base Pairs to Cleave Bacterial DNA

Engineers have developed a new approach for turning ordinary water into a weapon against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a study publishing September 30 in the Cell Press journal Chem Catalysis.

Kupffer Cells Increase Apolipoprotein Secretion in Response to Indigestible Plastics

Microplastics appear capable of significantly impairing the function of phagocytes in the liver, at least in mice. In turn, this disrupts the metabolism of this vital organ and increases the build-up of fat inside it. These are the key findings from a joint German-Austrian study led by the University of Bonn, details of which have now been published in the journal "Nature Metabolism."

A Flash of Blue Light Helped Cells Overcome a Major Division Defect

Cell division represents a complex process. Central to this intricacy is a cellular structure devoid of a membrane, known as the centrosome, consisting of over 200 different components.

Innovative OpenFISH Technique Enables Integrated Spatial Molecular Imaging in Tissues

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) shows which genes are being expressed and where within a tissue. Spatial metabolomics (SM), on the other hand, maps the location of metabolites—small molecules produced or used by cells—within tissue.

Personalized Support Boosts Genetic Testing Uptake Among At-Risk Family Members

Among cancer patients who received personalized support and navigation services from experts throughout the genetic testing process, their first-degree relatives – parents, siblings and children – were significantly more likely to receive genetic testing, as well. Nearly half of those relatives carried a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, which are associated with a higher risk of cancer, according to a new study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Lifeblood, UQ and SMART CRC Pump New Life Into Lab-Grown Blood Production

Lifeblood researchers are among only a few research groups in the world who are already growing fully functional red blood cells from donor stem cells in the lab but producing them in quantities large enough for use in patients is inefficient and expensive.
