Spatial maps offer insights into the battle between melanoma cells and immune cells

Melanoma is a somewhat unusual cancer-;one that blooms before our very eyes, often on sun-exposed skin, and can quickly become deadly as it turns our own skin against us and spreads to other organs.

Research could open up pathways for 3D printing any kind of organ at any time

Human organ transplants offer a crucial lifeline to people with serious illnesses, but there are too few organs to go around: in the U.S. alone, there are more than 112,000 people currently waiting for transplants.

Immune cell migration contributes to inefficient antitumor immunity, study finds

Mutations in the APC gene cause the production of intestinal polyps in persons suffering from familial adenomatous polyposis, a genetic disease that predisposes them to colon cancer.

Critical signaling pathways in immune cells could reduce Alzheimer’s progression

According to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, inhibiting a critical signaling route in brain-resident immune cells may reduce brain inflammation and hence halt the progression of the disease in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders.

A new Yale study identifies a deeper understanding of cancer-relevant genes

According to a Yale Cancer Center study, there is cancer-relevant value in a substantially greater portion of human genes than existing cancer research models suggest, based on a study of over 12,000 human genes.

Study reveals key characteristics of immune cells in ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a difficult to diagnose malignancy that is often caught at a more advanced stage. Treatments for this cancer have changed little over the past few decades, with surgery and chemotherapy being the most common therapeutic approaches.

Potential solution to make plants more tolerant lies in a single fatty acid

Climate change doesn't just mean warmer weather. Cold spells can hit unusual lows, too, and the fluctuations between warm and chilly are becoming more extreme.

Scientists discover a special cell in salivary glands that is likely crucial for oral health

Scientists at Scripps Research and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research have discovered a special type of cell that resides in salivary glands and is likely crucial for oral health.

Bioprinting bone along with two growth factor encoding genes improves bone repair

Given enough time and energy, the body will heal, but when doctors or engineers intervene, the processes do not always proceed as planned because chemicals that control and facilitate the healing process are missing.

A single mutation can enhance the virulence of Zika virus

Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have found that Zika virus can mutate to become more infective-;and potentially break through pre-existing immunity.

Max Planck researchers reveal the structure of kinetochore corona

During cell division in a mother cell, the 23 chromosomes that carry the human genome must be first copied and later delivered to two newly forming daughter cells.

Study shows how T cell-derived interleukin-22 promotes antibacterial defense of colonic crypts

Intestinal epithelial cells line the inner wall of the gut, creating a barrier to dangerous bacteria like enteropathogenic E. coli that seek to attach and efface that barrier, causing diarrhea.

Microcolonies in the GI tract comprise an important niche for cell-cell signaling and plasmid transfer

Published in Nature Communications, research from the University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic sought to understand how microbial communities help people resist pathogens.

Researchers discover a mechanism by which the protein DELE1 detects organelle stress

Researchers have long speculated an association between disorders in mitochondria, tiny organelles inside the cell, and the aging process and age-related illnesses.

Researchers develop a universal AI algorithm for deep clean-up of single cell genomic data

A single cell’s genome or transcriptome can reveal considerably more data about its place in biological systems than sequencing a full batch of cells, just as interviewing a single person about their health will provide specialized, personalized information hard to obtain from a big poll.

Researchers create RNA molecules to address human pancreatic beta cells

Researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have created RNA molecules that bind to human pancreatic beta cells, which generate insulin and are destroyed in type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients.

Single-molecule analysis to study how tetraploid cells replicate DNA from diploid cells

Human cells have two sets of chromosomes (diploid). It is possible, however, that cells have a tetraploid (quadruple) set.
