Study gains insight into how deadliest form of brain cancer returns

The deadliest form of brain cancer returns because tumors adapt to treatment by recruiting help from nearby healthy tissue, say researchers who are trying to find a cure for the disease.

Researchers discover how patients with mutations in a DNA sequence develop pancreatic malformations

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation have identified a DNA sequence that is crucial for pancreatic differentiation and function – and for the first time – describe how it works.

Scientists discover a mechanism used by insects in the development and regeneration of wings

The first mutation of the wingless gene was found by accident in Drosophila in the 1970s, following the observation of flies that did not possess wings, hence its name.

New combination therapy shows potential to improve survival in children with neuroblastoma

Children who suffer a relapse of the aggressive cancer known as neuroblastoma have small chances of survival.

Discovery of a group of latent stem cells could offer a new approach to treat brain and spinal cord injuries

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have identified a group of latent stem cells that respond to injury in the central nervous system of mice. If a similar type of cell exists in humans, they could offer a new therapeutic approach to treat brain and spinal cord injuries.

Brain cells with the same birthdate show distinct connectivity and activity, study finds

Brain cells with the same "birthdate" are more likely to wire together into cooperative signaling circuits that carry out many functions, including the storage of memories, a new study finds.

Discovery points to new drug targets that could prevent cancer spread

Any cancer cell migrating from a tumor to set up shop elsewhere in the body will face a brutal attack from an immune system programmed to seek and destroy abnormal cells.

New discovery helps explain the dynamics underlying liver damage in type 2 diabetes and obesity

When fat accumulates in the liver, the immune system may assault the organ. A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine researchers identifies the molecule that trips these defenses, a discovery that helps to explain the dynamics underlying liver damage that can accompany type 2 diabetes and obesity.
