Cell: Interpreting How Mutations Rewire Cancer Cells
In the journal of Cell, scientists have discovered how genetic cancer mutations systematically attack the networks controlling human cells, which is critical for the future development of precise& ...
BioTechniques: Comparative Analysis of Eukaryotic Cell-Free Expression Systems Comparison
Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) is favored by researchers as it allows them to quickly generate a protein independent of cell culture. Eukaryotic lysates can carry out post-translational ...
The United Immune Cells?
Migratory birds, dolphins, ants and many other creatures have learned a truth that unity is strength. When immune cells fight against viruses, they are also well versed in this rule, recently pointed ...
Cell Reports: Activated Neurons Release "Mysterious" Proteins Against Neurodegeneration
Recently, a study found that activated neurons can release a kind of "mysterious" proteins to protect nerve cells from death threats. The latest study, conducted by researchers led by the University ...
New Finding: A New Spatial Model for the Study of Tumor Growth & Evolution
Mathematical model is the most powerful tool to elucidate cancer growth and evolution, but over the years it still has defects. Although there are some models having been developed to capture tumor ...
To Be Immunogenic or Not? It Is Not a Question Anymore
In 2006, Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka gained the lead with iPS technology induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Since then, the technology has been seen as the hope of cell therapy. It is ...
Obesity Gene? Now You Find Something to Blame
Obesity not only affects the self image but also is harmful to health—it increases risks of diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. However, losing weight is not an easy task. In order to ...
The "Gateway" Allows Cancer Cells to Spread to Blood Vessels
Recently, scientists used real-time, high-resolution imaging technology to determine a a "gateway" in the vasculature, allowing cancer cells to spread from the breast to other parts of the body. ...
New Finding: the Origins of Breast Tumor Cells
A key issue for tumor biology is to understand the mechanisms controlling tumor heterogeneity, and to determine the extent of tumor heterogeneity that will affect the clinical outcome. In a recent ...
