Aspirin changes the way colorectal cancer cells evolve over time, study reveals

Cancer starts when cells start dividing uncontrollably. Scientists have known that taking aspirin can help protect against the development of colorectal cancer – cancer afflicting the colon or rectum – but the exact reason aspirin has this effect has been mostly a mystery.

Cryo-EM helps scientists to decipher the structure of a key part of RNA degradation machinery

In biology, getting rid of stuff can be just as important as making it. A buildup of cells, proteins, or other molecules that are no longer needed can cause problems, so living things have evolved several ways to clean house.

Research reveals how highly proliferative leukemia cells turn into normal harmless ones

A new research describes how highly proliferative leukemia cells end up becoming normal cells that no longer multiply, by changing the chemical modifications -the so-called epigenetics- of a type of its genetic material: the messenger RNA.
