Researchers develop method to generate billions of cDC1 immune cells

Conventional type 1 dendritic cells, known as cDC1 cells, are immune cells that help initiate responses against intracellular pathogens and tumors.

New strategy identified for overcoming resistance to KRAS-targeted cancer therapies

Researchers at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a promising strategy for overcoming one of the biggest challenges facing KRAS-targeted cancer therapies: treatment resistance.

Study reveals immune rheostat maintaining skin barrier homeostasis

As the steadfast protector of the body's interior, the skin must be able to swiftly respond to stressors from the outside world and then return to a steady state in order to maintain everyday operations. Coordinating that agile response are epidermal stem cells, which produce the overlying protective layers of specialized skin cells sent to the surface while also maintaining a ready pool of new stem cells to draw from.

Semaglutide and teduglutide reduce immune-driven gut injury in mice

Researchers found that gut-derived GLP-1 and GLP-2 signaling helped protect mice against T cell-induced intestinal injury, with GLP-1R primarily regulating inflammation and GLP-2R supporting intestinal repair. Semaglutide and teduglutide, administered separately or together, reduced acute intestinal damage in mice lacking intestinal proglucagon, suggesting potential avenues for investigating treatments for immune-mediated gut injury.

Altered fatty acid metabolism drives glioblastoma growth and treatment resistance

Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults, and glioblastoma (GBM), particularly IDH (Isocitrate dehydrogenase)-wildtype disease, has the poorest prognosis.

Paternal age may influence sex-specific gene expression changes in embryos

When genes are "expressed," it is like reading an instruction manual to create things the body needs - such as proteins or RNA.

Researchers use mitochondrial uncouplers to target breast cancer metastasis

Mitochondrial serine catabolic pathway (MSCP), also called serine, glycine, and one-carbon metabolism, is essential for cancer cells to produce amino acids, one-carbon units, and reducing equivalents.

Sex hormones dictate how skin stem cells renew themselves

For a long time, differences between females and males were mainly associated with the reproductive organs. Yet organs that have nothing to do with reproduction, such as the skin, can also be shaped by sex.

Cigarette smoke exposure alters ovarian and testicular function in mice

New research has shed light on how exposure to cigarette smoke could affect reproductive health in both men and women, identifying changes in biological processes involved in ovarian function and sperm production.

Targeting lipophagy could help treat metabolic and oxidative stress-related diseases

A review published in Genes & Diseases highlights lipophagy, the cellular process that selectively breaks down lipid droplets, as a potentially important therapeutic target for conditions driven by disrupted lipid metabolism and oxidative stress.
