Zebra Fish Model Yields Clues to Neuroblastoma Growth

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) conducted in a zebra fish model system identified LMO1, which encodes a LIM-domain-only transcriptional cofactor, as a neuroblastoma susceptibility gene that functions as an oncogene in high-risk neuroblastoma. More...

Mycobacteria Use Voltage-Dependent Channels to Prevent Destruction

A team of molecular microbiologists unraveled the mechanism whereby the pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium avium modifies the environment inside the macrophage phagosome and transforms it from a killing site to place for growth and reproduction. More...

Nanoparticle Reagent Simplifies Gene Expression Programming

Novel nanoparticle carriers were used to deliver mRNA directly to specific cell types (T-cells of the immune system and blood stem cells) in order to induce short-term changes in gene expression that could be harnessed to treat diseases ranging from cancer to diabetes. More...

Depressing Stress Signaling Increases Immune Activity

Cancer researchers evaluating the immune status of the tumor microenvironment found that CD8+ T-cell frequency and functional orientation were regulated by beta-2-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) signaling and suggested using clinically available beta-blockers in patients to improve responses to immunotherapy.

Lack of Correlation in Cancer Cells May Complicate Drug Development

Cancer researchers have are warning drug developers that in about 62% of ovarian cancer cell samples levels of messenger RNA and protein did not accurately reflect changes in gene activity. More...

Scandinavian Researchers Discover Potential Arthritis Treatment

The natural polysaccharide alginate and particularly its sulfated derivatives have potent anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-immunogenic properties, which indicate that it may be a promising biomaterial to be explored for treatment of arthritis. More...

Researchers Identify RNAs Involved in Tumor Growth

Cancer researchers have linked a specific long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) to the growth and metastasis of certain types of cancer. More...
