Anti-cancer gene may switch side and promote cancer growth, shows study

It doesn't often happen that army generals switch sides in the middle of a war, but when cancer's attack is underway, it may even cause a gene that acts as the body's master defender to change allegiance.

Study observes how nanoplastics cause damage to DNA and cell membranes in mussels

Plastic pollution is a worldwide environmental problem which worsens when this material degrades into smaller-sized particles such as microplastics and nanoplastics, the latter capable of penetrating into an organism's cells.

Reduced plasmalogen level may increase risk of Alzheimer's disease, shows study

Reduced levels of plasmalogens - a class of lipids created in the liver that are integral to cell membranes in the brain - are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's Disease, according to new research presented this week at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference 2018 by Mitchel A. Kling, MD, an associate professor of Psychiatry in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
