New Approach Yields Stable Neural Stem Cell Lines for Neuroscience Research

A team of neurosciences researchers developed a faster and more stable technique for establishing stable human induced neural stem cell (hiNSC) lines through the direct reprogramming of neonatal fibroblasts and adult adipose-derived stem cells. More...

Siderophores Induce Pneumonia-Promoting Changes in Lung Tissue

Siderophores, which are small, high-affinity iron chelating compounds secreted by some types of microorganisms, were found to act directly on the host to induce inflammatory cytokines and to aid in bacterial dissemination. More...

Inhibiting Enzyme Activity Overcomes Cell Differentiation Blockade

Inhibition of the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) was found to stimulate differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, which reduced the cancer cell burden and promoted survival in human and mouse models. More...

Snail Insulin Serves as Drug Development Model

A form of insulin isolated from a type of carnivorous marine snail lacks the segment of the B region that causes the protein to aggregate, which decreases the amount of time required by the hormone to influence glucose levels by a factor of three. More...

Stabilizing Iron-Sulfur Transport Clusters Reduces Size and Aggressiveness of Tumors

An international team of cancer researchers has identified a protein that, when overexpressed, enabled breast tumors to better withstand oxidative stress thereby becoming much larger and more aggressive. More...
