Senescent Fibroblasts in the Tumor Niche Rewire Lung Cancer Metabolism and Plasticity

Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet two decades have gone by since cell biologist Judith Campisi, PhD, paradoxically demonstrated that these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting.

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 Tool Predicts Which Intrinsically Disordered Regions Drive Condensate Formation

Fusion oncoproteins arise when a gene fuses with another gene and acquires new abilities. Such abilities can include the formation of biomolecular condensates, "droplets" of concentrated proteins, DNA or RNA.
