Image: During the process of cell division, the mitochondria are damaged (yellow indicator) making the cells particularly dependent on glucose as a source of energy. Genetic material is shown in blue and mitochondria in red (Photo courtesy of the Spanish National Cancer Research Center).

Blocking Glycolysis Helps Antimitotic Chemotherapeutic Drugs to Work Better

Blocking the attempts of tumor cells to establish glycolysis as their primary means of generating energy was found to significantly augment the chemotherapeutic benefits of drugs that prevent the cells from dividing.  More...

Toxic Peptide from Wasp Venom Targets Cancer Cell Membrane Phospholipids

A toxic peptide component of the venom produced by a South American wasp effectively destroys some types of cancer cells through interactions with groups of phospholipids that are distributed abnormally on their cell membranes.  More...

Bacteria-Based Biosensor Detects Zinc Deficiency

A series of genetic engineering steps led to the development of a bacterial biosensor capable of visually distinguishing levels of zinc, a critical micronutrient.  More...

Nucleoside Supplementation Reduces Genomic Damage in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Spanish researchers have described a method to reduce the amount of genomic damage incurred during the process that transforms mature adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells, thereby making them potentially useful for biomedical applications.  More...

Computer Models Help Explain How Tumors Evolve

Cancer researchers used computer modeling to create three-dimensional simulations of tumors developing over time in order to explain why the tumor mass is almost exclusively composed of one type of cell while a similar mass of normal tissue would be composed of many cell types.  More...

Synthetic Biologists Create Interlinked Microbial Populations

A team of synthetic biologists has demonstrated a method for controlling how populations of microbial cells interact and regulate each other.  More...

Mouse Model Shows Potential of Personalized Cancer Treatment Based on Live Cell Vaccination

A novel personalized approach to cancer immunotherapy is based on sponge-like "cryogels" that are loaded with a sampling of the patient's tumor cells together with immune system-stimulating reagents and then injected under the skin.  More...
