Researchers unravel how one of the crucial early steps on the path of life could have happened

One-hundred fifty years ago, Charles Darwin speculated that life likely originated in a warm little pond. There, Darwin supposed, chemical reactions and the odd lightning strike might have led to chains of amino acids that, over time, became more and more complex until the beginnings of life emerged.

Scientists suggest vibrational spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance to evaluate drug concentrations

Scientists at Baltic Federal University have suggested evaluating concentration and chemical composition of drugs by means of vibrational spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance instead of conventional complex approaches.

Extraordinary plasticity of the glucocorticoid receptor revealed

Glucocorticoids —such as cortisone— are among the most widely used anti-inflammatory drugs, and are used to treat asthma, psoriasis, organ transplantation and even COVID-19.

Scientists discover new potential mechanism for vision loss

Visual cells in the human retina may not simply die in some diseases, but are mechanically transported out of the retina beforehand.

Stem cell crosstalk with the microenvironment creates a loop of tumor-promoting factors

What drives tumor growth? Is it a few rogue cells imposing their will upon healthy tissue, or diseased tissue bringing out the worst in otherwise peaceable cells? Or is it a back-and-forth, a dialogue between the two?

Bioorthogonal system for targeted release of nitrite ions into cancer cells

A team of researchers writing in the journal Angewandte Chemie has developed a bioorthogonal molecular system for the targeted introduction of nitrite ions into cells.

Minimally invasive reporter system allows highly sensitive monitoring of RNA production

The better we understand cellular processes such as RNA regulation, the better molecular therapies can be developed.

Copper and copper-binding proteins could be potential targets for cancer treatment

For cancer cells to grow and spread around the human body, they need proteins that bind copper ions. New research about how cancer-related proteins bind the metal and how they interact with other proteins, opens up potential new drug targets in the fight against cancer.

Cell competition could be responsible for cancer relapses, study shows

A normal process called cell competition, in which healthy tissues eliminate unhealthy cells, could be responsible for cancer relapses in patients months or years after they were declared cancer-free, a new study by UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center researchers suggests.

Vaccination with senescent cells could be a possible therapy against cancer

Cancer cells have a series of features that allow the immune system to identify and attack them. However, these same cells create an environment that blocks immune cells and protects the tumor.

How does the ISG15/ISGylation system modulate Vaccinia virus infection?

Researchers demonstrated how interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is involved in the Vaccinia virus (VACV) dissemination.

Building DNA-based synthetic condensates with programmable compositions and functionalities

Recent studies have shown that liquid-liquid phase separation – akin to how oil droplets form in water – leads to formation of diverse types of membraneless organelles, such as stress granules and nucleoli, in living cells.

Study determines how fibroblasts play a role in tumor's ability to generate anti-HER2 therapy resistance

A study led by researchers at the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM-Hospital del Mar) has determined the role that fibroblasts, the cells that contribute to tissue formation, play in a tumor's ability to generate resistance to the most common biological treatment for HER2.
