Study reveals how PAX3 protein drives melanoma growth

PAX3 is a transcription factor (proteins involved in converting DNA into RNA) that drives melanoma progression by promoting cell growth, migration and survival, while inhibiting cellular terminal differentiation, which is the final stage where a cell becomes specialized and cell division ends.

Red blood cells drive blood vessel damage in diabetes by exporting toxic vesicles

Red blood cell-derived extracellular vesicles in type 2 diabetes are actively taken up by the endothelium, transferring the enzyme arginase-1 and triggering oxidative stress. This mechanism helps explain vascular complications in diabetes and offers new targets for therapeutic intervention.
