Autophagy Protein Governs Endometrial Remodeling and Establishment of Pregnancy in Animal Models

Throughout a woman's reproductive life, the endometrium, the mucous membrane lining the uterus, goes through cyclical remodeling. It thickens during the menstrual cycle in preparation for embryo implantation, and it is shed during menstruation when there is no fertilization.

Scientists Illuminate the Mechanism that Raises and Lowers PSMA Expression in Prostate Cancer

Like the better-known prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a biomarker that can tell physicians much about a patient's metastatic prostate cancer.

A New, Cost-Effective Therapy to Treat a Wide Range of Cancers

A potential immunotherapy method for treating metastatic melanoma is adoptive cell therapy (ACT). The method, which utilizes the use of immune cells extracted from the patient’s own tumors, could offer cancer patients new options for treatment by eschewing radiation therapies and harsh chemotherapy drugs.
