CRISPR uncovers which gene fusions are critical for growth of cancer cells

In the first large-scale analysis of cancer gene fusions, which result from the merging of two previously separate genes, researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL-EBI, Open Targets, GSK and their collaborators have used CRISPR to uncover which gene fusions are critical for the growth of cancer cells.

Cellular conflict is crucial to development of healthy skin

Not all cells are destined for greatness. Deemed unfit to serve in the body, some are killed off during early development through a process called cell competition. This phenomenon has previously been documented in flies and is now turning out to occur in mammals as well.

Fruit fly study shows role of unexplored neural circuit in modulating memory strength

Learning to avoid negative experiences requires an interplay of two distinct brain circuits, one to interpret "Yikes!" and drive learning, and the other, unexpectedly, to dial in the strength of that memory, a new fruit fly study shows.

Oxidative stress acts directly on telomeres to hasten cellular aging, study reveals

The same sources thought to inflict oxidative stress on cells- pollution, diesel exhaust, smoking and obesity- also are associated with shorter telomeres, the protective tips on the ends of the chromosomal shoelace.
