Apoptosis is programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

Targeting Gαq/11 may be an efficient therapeutic strategy against uveal melanoma

Announcing a new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B. Constitutively activated G proteins caused by specific mutations mediate the development of multiple malignancies.

Researchers identify how some cancer cells cheat treatment-induced cell death

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have identified how some cancer cells cheat treatment-induced cell death.

Less is more: early short-course rapamycin effective in sustained anti-aging effects

A new study shows that a brief treatment period could have the same anti-aging efficacy and duration of effect but without the potentially serious adverse effects of chronic administration.

The currently available evidence on viral-induced parkinsonism

A new review attempts to summarize all known about the relationship between viral illness and parkinsonian disorders to facilitate further research.

Oncolytic viruses boost the immune capacity to effectively target and destroy cancer cells

The immune system has evolved to safeguard the body from a wildly diverse range of potential threats. Among these are bacterial diseases, including plague, cholera, diphtheria and Lyme disease, and viral contagions such as influenza, Ebola virus and SARS CoV-2.

Chinese researchers identify a new molecular mechanism of NASH pathogenesis

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by liver steatosis, inflammation and injury, has emerged as one of major causes for end-stage liver disease like hepatocellular carcinoma. However, what drives its progression?

Common molecular tool for DNA labelling shows unexpected anticancer properties

Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine have made the surprising discovery that a molecule called EdU, which is commonly used in laboratory experiments to label DNA, is in fact recognized by human cells as DNA damage, triggering a runaway process of DNA repair that is eventually fatal to affected cells, including cancer cells.

Investigating the missing link between COVID-19 and anosmia

A new study evaluated how SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to anosmia via chromatin structure disruption and OR dysregulation. For this purpose, publicly available Hi-C data of OSNs of SARS-CoV-2-infected and control human subjects were used.

Scientists identify new driver for rare type of liver cancer

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem have identified in mice the cell of origin of combined liver/biliary duct carcinomas, a rare type of cancer of the liver.

Study shows astrocytes as breeding grounds of SARS-CoV-2 during brain infection

Researchers evidenced the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the human brain, infecting astrocytes and impairing neuronal function and viability.

Research identifies unique vulnerabilities in ALT cancers that can serve as novel therapeutic targets

In a study recently published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, a team of researchers led by C. Patrick Reynolds, M.D., Ph.D., director for the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine Cancer Center, sought to expand upon his lab's previous research that showed ALT tumors identified by a biomarker known as C-circles share a common biology that confers vulnerabilities to be exploited for cancer therapy.

Study suggests BA.5 evolved to induce enhanced inflammation when compared to prior Omicron subvariants

Researchers evaluated the comparative pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-variants BA.1, BA.2, and BA.5, in vitro and in vivo.

Mice study reveals hepatic consequences of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemical mixtures

We are increasingly being exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that interfere with the normal functioning of our hormones. Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, which are widely used in consumer products including plastics, aluminum cans, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, are well-known EDCs.
