Researchers identify γ-tubulin ring complex to be responsible for providing centriole stability

Centrioles are cylindrical structures involved in the generation of microtubules - fibers inside of cells that form a network to provide structure and shape to cells and to mediate transport processes.

Research reveals how gut macrophages respond to prior infection by shielding enteric neurons

A simple stomach bug could do a lot of damage. There are 100 million neurons scattered along the gastrointestinal tract - directly in the line of fire - that can be stamped out by gut infections, potentially leading to long-term GI disease.

Researchers untangle dopamine’s diverse functions

Among the neurotransmitters in the brain, dopamine has gained an almost mythical status. Decades of research have established its contribution to several seemingly unrelated brain functions including learning, motivation, and movement, raising the question of how a single neurotransmitter can play so many different roles.

Researchers decipher when and why T cells become non-responsive to immunotherapy

Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer in humans. Some patients with NSCLC receive a therapy called immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) that helps kill cancer cells by reinvigorating a subset of immune cells called T cells, which are "exhausted" and have stopped working.

Cancer cells exploit genetic and cellular processes to promote tumor growth

Writing in EMBO reports, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health describe how a pair of fundamental genetic and cellular processes are exploited by cancer cells to promote tumor survival and growth.
