Prevention of ERK Nuclear Translocation Blocks Cancer Proliferation in Animal Models

A team of cell biologists has shown that the cancer promoting effects of ERK dysregulation can be blocked by low molecular weight drugs that prevent translocation of this kinase from the cells' cytoplasm into the nucleus.  More...

Image: Fast functional photoacoustic microscopy of the mouse brain. Figure (d) shows a representative x-y projected brain vasculature image through an intact skull. Figure (e) shows a representative enhanced x-z projected brain vasculature image. Figure (f) shows photoacoustic microscopy of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the mouse brain, acquired by using the single-wavelength pulse-width-based method with two lasers (Photo courtesy of Washington University).

Photoacoustic Microscopy Enables Rapid Imaging of the Brain's Oxygen Metabolism

Photoacoustic microscopy is a novel imaging technique that was exploited by researchers to view the vascular morphology, blood oxygenation, blood flow, and oxygen metabolism in both resting and stimulated states in the mouse brain.  More...

New Model for Lung Disease Research Based on Stem Cell-derived Lung Organoids

By manipulating cocktails of growth factors, researchers have stimulated human stem cells to morph into tissues that self-organize into three-dimensional structures populated by cells resembling those in the lung.  More...
