Unique tool helps to study how the mechanical forces behind protein folding affect cancer spread

Talin is a protein that controls cellular attachment and movement, but its malfunctioning also allows cancer cells to spread. DCL1 is a tumor-suppressing protein. But scientists don't fully understand how either protein works – or what happens when they don't work the way they should.

Men with hematopoietic mosaic loss of Y chromosome have worse prognosis for heart failure

research group led by Dr. Soichi Sano, a specially appointed lecturer in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka Metropolitan University, revealed that men with hematopoietic mosaic loss of Y chromosome (mLOY) — meaning men with an increase, in the blood, of cells that have lost the male sex chromosome — have a worse prognosis for heart failure due to fibrosis progression in the heart.

Moffitt researchers reveal how RNA molecules promote the development of melanoma metastasis

Changes in DNA can lead to the development and progression of cancer. DNA serves as a template for an intermediary molecule called RNA that, in turn, codes for proteins that control all cellular processes.

New anticoagulant platform holds promise as a revolutionary advancement over the current blood thinners

While blood clotting is important to prevent blood loss and for our immunity, coagulation also can cause health issues and even death. Currently, one in four people worldwide dies from diseases and conditions caused by blood clots.

Newly characterized stem cell self-renewal factor enables continuous sperm production

Unlike women, who are born with all the eggs they'll ever have, men can continue to produce sperm throughout their adult lives. To do so, they require a constant renewal of spermatogonial stem cells, which give rise to sperm.

Biochemist finds new way to protect healthy leukocytes during chemotherapy

A biochemist from RUDN and IBMC has found a way to protect healthy leukocytes during leukemia chemotherapy. Small nitrogen-containing polyamine molecules give the necessary protection.

Immune response after transplant is complicated by bacteria in donated organs

Organ transplant recipients take life-long immunosuppressive drugs to prevent their bodies from mounting an immune response against the donated organ, yet a substantial number of them still reject the organs.

Stem cell transplantation produces prolonged survival with improved safety in patients with AL amyloidosis

AL amyloidosis is a life-threatening disease related to bone marrow cancer, multiple myeloma. It is caused when a person's antibody-producing white blood cells (i.e. plasma cells) do not function properly and generate abnormal protein which misfolds to form amyloid fibrils and deposits made of components of antibodies called light chains, which then deposit in various organs of the body.

Brown researchers develop an advanced way to isolate single cells from complex tissues

In cancer research, it all comes down to a single cell. Over the last decade, cancer researchers have homed in on the fact that an individual cell from a tumor can be used to perform molecular analyses that reveal important clues about how the cancer developed, how it spreads and how it may be targeted.
