Image: The porous silicon microparticles are about one micrometer in diameter. The hollow channels within each microparticle can be loaded with antigens—such as HER2—that can help train the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells overexpressing HER2 (Photo courtesy of Dr. Haifa Shen\'s laboratory, Houston Methodist Research Institute).

Silicon Microparticles Boost Effectives of Potential Breast Cancer Vaccines

Microparticles constructed from porous silicon were found to increase the effectiveness of potential anti-breast-cancer vaccines by stimulating a type I interferon response even when not carrying any specific antigen.  More...

DNA-Antibody Hybrid Molecule Shown to Be Effective Antibacterial Agent

A hybrid molecule comprising an aptamer attached to a trisaccharide terminating with alpha-gal was shown in a proof-of-principle study to be an effective antibacterial agent.  More...

DNA and Protein Composite Vaccine Produces Long Lasting Immunity Against Chagas Disease in Mice

A candidate vaccine for Chagas disease was found to induce long-lasting immunity against the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite in mice.  More...

FBP17-actin complexes (white dots) distributed across the cell membrane are recruited over time to the leading edge of migration due to increased tension (Photo courtesy of Biosignal Research Center, Kobe University).

Membrane-binding Protein Regulates Cell Motility by Sensing Membrane Tension

A team of Japanese cell biologists has found that the interaction between the degree of plasma membrane tension and a plasma membrane-bending protein regulates cell motility, and that this interaction is disrupted in metastasizing cancer cells.  More...

Bee Genomes Create a Buzz in the Fields of Pollination and Immunology

In a large international collaborative study, the genomes of two important pollinating bumblebees have been sequenced, analyzed, and compared with those of other bees, laying an important foundation for identification of biological factors essential for their survival, evolution, conservation, and key roles in our ecosystem and food supply.  More...

Blocking ITK Activity Slows Growth of Malignant Melanoma in Mouse Model

Development of malignant melanoma was found to depend to some extent on the activity of the enzyme produced by the gene interleukin-2 inducible T-cell kinase.  More...

Researchers Identify Proteins Required for X Chromosome Silencing by the Long Noncoding RNA Xist

A recent paper identified a group of proteins that interact directly with the long noncoding RNA Xist, which is required for transcriptional silencing of one X chromosome during development in female mammals.  More...
