Marine plankton samples can help study the connections between ocean pollution and rates of chronic illnesses

Using samples from an almost century-old, ongoing survey of marine plankton, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine suggest that rising levels of manmade chemicals found in parts of the world's oceans might be used to monitor the impact of human activity on ecosystem health, and may one day be used to study the connections between ocean pollution and land-based rates of childhood and adult chronic illnesses.

Collagen deposition at sites of intestinal injury stimulates cellular reprogramming

Most cells have a pretty normal life: they're born, they grow, they get old, and they die. But the Benjamin Buttons of the cellular world can go from old to young again in the right context.

Cells live longer when they exchange metabolic products with each other

When cells exchange metabolic products with other cells, they live longer. This new finding comes from a research team at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, which made the discovery in a study using yeast cells.

Researchers show how liver cancer cells hijack circadian clock machinery to divide and spread

The most common type of liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is already the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally - and cases are on the rise, both in the U.S. and worldwide.

Study offers novel insights into the elongation dynamics of eukaryotic cells

Life depends on the precise functioning of several proteins synthesized in cells by ribosomes. This diverse set of proteins, known as a proteome, is maintained by the robust translation elongation of amino acid sequences taking place in the ribosomes.

Study details the “immunometabolic editing” mechanism of tumor evolution

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has discovered that the immune system's surveillance of cancer can itself induce metabolic adaptations in the cells of early-stage tumors that simultaneously promote their growth and equip them to suppress lethal immune responses.

Researchers reveal previously unknown properties of T cells

Certain T cells can secrete cytokines that are normally part of the innate immune system, as researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology and an international research team discovered.

Researchers elucidate the mechanism behind the formation of pores in mitochondrial membrane

Mitochondria are considered to be the power plants of cells and are essential for human metabolism. Dysfunction in 40 percent of mitochondrial proteins are associated with human diseases, which is why mitochondria also play an important role in medical research.

Specific air pollutants linked to non-viral asthma attacks among children in urban communities

Moderate levels of two outdoor air pollutants, ozone and fine particulate matter, are associated with non-viral asthma attacks in children and adolescents who live in low-income urban areas, a study funded by the National Institutes of Health has found.

Scientists pinpoint the routes taken by SARS-CoV-2 to enter and exit cells in our nasal cavity

Somebody just coughed on you. On a plane. At a dinner party. In a supermarket line. If only there were a "morning after" nasal spray that could knock out respiratory viruses' ability to colonize your nose and throat.

Researchers unravel how embryonic cells sense their mechanical environment

Building tissues and organs is one of the most complex and important tasks that cells must accomplish during embryogenesis.

Immune system B-cells may be better in predicting HER2-positive breast cancer treatment response

Researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues have found that measuring activation of immune-system B cells may be better than measuring either T-cell activation or the total number of immune cells in and around a tumor, called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), in predicting whether HER2-positive breast cancer responds to treatment.

Researchers develop a new approach to better understand the biology of polycystic kidney disease

A research team supported by the National Institutes of Health has developed a new approach to better understand the biology of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), an often-life-threatening genetic disorder that affects millions worldwide.

Cilia act as sensors to establish body left-right asymmetry during embryogenesis

Although the human body is externally symmetric across the left-right axis, there are remarkable left-right asymmetries in the shape and positioning of most internal organs including the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and brain.
