Cancer cells in an acidic environment undergo lipid synthesis and accumulation, study shows

Alterations in metabolic processes are a hallmark of cancer and can lead to a tumor environment that is acidic. As a result, cancer cells must adapt to survive in this inhospitable environment.

Fluorescence-based sensing could be a useful tool for monitoring lactate levels in living organisms

Lactate is generated in the body as a byproduct, during normal metabolism and exercise. While considered a useless waste product for a long time, recent studies have shown that lactate can be an indicator for cancer and various other diseases.

Cells do a little cleanup before mitosis

MIT researchers have discovered that before cells start to divide, they do a little cleanup, tossing out molecules that they appear not to need anymore.

Testicular tissue can be successfully frozen for over 20 years, study shows

Male testis tissue that is cryopreserved can be reimplanted after more than 20 years and will go on to make viable sperm, according to a new study in rodents in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Eoin Whelan of the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania and colleagues publishing May 10th.

Study finds link between hippocampal defects and intellectual disability in children with Joubert Syndrome

An important link has been found between the intellectual disability experienced by children with the rare disease Joubert Syndrome (JS) and defects in the hippocampus.

Tumors release lactate to force neighboring cells into supporting cancer growth

Tumors can force neighboring cells into supporting cancer growth by releasing lactate into their local environment, according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

UCLouvain discovery could counter SARS-CoV-2 virus independently of the mutations

Despite the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns worldwide, the threat posed by Covid-19 still exists. First of all, a new SARS-CoV-2 variant could very well emerge that may not respond to current vaccines.

"Serenity Lounges" reduce stress, anxiety and burnout among nurses, study shows

A new Cedars-Sinai study shows that "Serenity Lounges"–break rooms equipped with massage chairs and other relaxation tools–reduced feelings of stress, anxiety and burnout among nurses.

AI model predicts postoperative recurrence of Crohn disease with high accuracy

Using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that emulates how humans visualize and is trained to recognize and classify images, investigators constructed a model that predicts the postoperative recurrence of Crohn disease with high accuracy by evaluating histological images.

Better understanding of hybrid parasite strains could improve Chagas disease diagnosis

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have mapped how the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi forms new variants that are more effective at evading the immune system and causing disease.

Postnatal gene therapy may be able to prevent or reverse deadly effects of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome

UNC School of Medicine Scientists have shown for the first time that postnatal gene therapy may be able to prevent or reverse many deleterious effects of a rare genetic disorder called Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.

Study uncovers new regulator of prostate cancer metastasis

A transcription factor normally associated with androgen receptor activity in prostate cancer has a newly discovered role in controlling lipid biosynthesis, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Genetics.

Simulating molecular dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 spike variants in the locked conformation

Researchers retrieved the first-ever sequenced spike (S) protein structures of the original Wuhan-Hu 1 SARS-CoV-2 strain, the Alpha, Delta, Delta-plus variants, and Omicron sub-variants BA.1 and BA.2 and compared their structural and molecular level variations.

Investigating the role of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases in host restriction of SARS-CoV-2 infection

A hybrid, multiscale, individual-based model to study the within-host spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the subsequent innate immune response

In this study, the authors have specifically studied the interactions of epithelial cells, a subset of cytokines and macrophages.
