Nuclear binding protein identified as key contributor to trisomy 21-related CHDs

Three copies of chromosome 21 causes Down syndrome (DS), and roughly half of children born each year in the United States with DS-approximately 2,600-also have congenital heart defects (CHDs).

Study forces a textbook rewrite on cell division

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in fact plays a completely different role in chromosome movement.

Gut bacteria found to make serotonin and boost intestinal motility

Researchers have identified Limosilactobacillus mucosae and Ligilactobacillus ruminis as human gut bacteria capable of producing serotonin by decarboxylating 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Their activity enhances intestinal motility and enteric nerve density, linking microbial serotonin synthesis to gut function and potential IBS mechanisms.

Researchers engineer a tool to dismantle cancer's RNA-built growth hubs

In a city, coworking hubs bring people and ideas together. Inside cancer cells, similar hubs form-but instead of fueling progress, they supercharge disease. That's what researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) have discovered inside the cells of a rare and aggressive kidney cancer.
