Researchers analyze how RNA molecules control the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells

A new study from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute demonstrates how some RNA molecules regulate the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells.

Study identifies a new cancer cell state related to poor treatment response in ovarian cancer patients

The prognosis for ovarian cancer patients is grim: less than half of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) patients survive past five years from diagnosis. Initially, the tumors typically respond well to chemotherapy but become resistant after repeated treatments, enabling the cancer to regrow.

New technique uses microscopic magnetic particles to remotely activate brain cells

Scientists at UCL have developed a new technique that uses microscopic magnetic particles to remotely activate brain cells; researchers say the discovery in rats could potentially lead to the development of a new class of non-invasive therapies for neurological disorders.

New study uncovers potential driver of Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson's disease may be driven in part by cell stress-related biochemical events that disrupt a key cellular cleanup system, leading to the spread of harmful protein aggregates in the brain, according to a new study from scientists at Scripps Research.

Study shows how 3D scaffolding of chromosomes is related across carnivore species

Studies comparing animal genomes generally focus on the DNA sequence itself. A new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis shows how the three-dimensional scaffolding of chromosomes is related across several species of carnivores, offering a new approach of "comparative scaffotyping" that could be used to identify related genes across species and place them in context.

Study shows how two distinct groups of Tregs play different roles at different times

Every kind of T cell has a job to do. A healthy immune system makes sure no T cell oversteps.

Newly developed radio-labeled molecule may be able to pinpoint areas of inflammation

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new radio-labeled molecule capable of selectively reacting with certain high-energy radicals that are characteristic of innate immune activity, which may allow a non-invasive approach to monitor inflammation in real time by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.
