Actin influences cancer metastases in many ways

Metastases occur when cancer cells leave a primary tumor and spread throughout the body. For this, they have to break connections with neighboring cells and migrate to other tissues.

Human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus detection using ribonucleic acid sequencing among smokers

Researchers identified serological Hepatitis C virus (HCV) signatures and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) signatures through the secondary utilization of ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis data among previous and existing smokers with or without COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Serotonin can potentially accelerate degenerative mitral regurgitation, study says

Serotonin can impact the mitral valve of the heart and potentially accelerate a cardiac condition known as degenerative mitral regurgitation, according to a new study led by researchers at Columbia University's Department of Surgery in collaboration with the Pediatric Heart Valve Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Valley Hospital Heart Institute.

Voles can form enduring attachments with mates and provide parental care without oxytocin receptors

The vital role of oxytocin - the "love hormone" - for social attachments is being called into question. More than forty years of pharmacological and behavioral research has pointed to oxytocin receptor signaling as an essential pathway for the development of social behaviors in prairie voles, humans, and other species, but a genetic study publishing in the journal Neuron on January 27 shows that voles can form enduring attachments with mates and provide parental care without oxytocin receptor signaling.
