Speedy Cell Cycle Slows Stem Cell Differentiation

A team of cell biologists has found that the ability of pluripotent stem cells to remain in an undifferentiated state is linked to the length of time the cell spends in the G1 phase of cell division. More...

Peptidase D Regulates Tumor Suppressor Cell Death Function

Cancer researchers have uncovered a mechanism that allows cells to regulate the tumor suppressor protein p53 and have explained how tumor cells exploit this mechanism in order to survive and grow. More...

Structure of Calcium Channel Protein May Lead to New CF Drugs

Cryo-electron microscope (cryo-EM) molecular structure analysis studies have revealed the mechanism of action of the calcium-activated chloride channel protein TMEM16A. More...

Image: Three T-cells surround a cancer cell. New drugs, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, can help the immune system attack cancer, but the drugs’ effectiveness depends on the patient’s genetic makeup (Photo courtesy of the U.S. National Institutes of Health).

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Effectiveness Dependent on HLA Diversity

Findings reported in a recently published paper suggested that an individual’s own genes controlled his or her response to immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors. More...

The fluorescent microscopy images at bottom show purple staining of the laminin glycoprotein in tibialis anterior muscle fibers (Photo courtesy of the Salk Institute for Biological Research).

Novel Gene Therapy Based on Modified Version of CRISPR/Cas9 Tool

A modified form of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool does not cause "double-strand breaks" (DSBs) in the DNA, yet it retains the ability to target and activate specific sites in the genome. More...

Transcriptomic Biomarker Assay Developed for Genetic Toxicology Testing

A new in vitro test was designed to solve the problem of false positive results that are frequently obtained when evaluating chemical compounds and potential drugs for their potential to cause genetic damage. More...

The mitochondria can be seen under a microscope where a thin glass tube can be used to isolate a single mitochondrion from the dendrite region of the mouse neuron (Photo courtesy of Jacqueline Morris and Jaehee Lee, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania).

Increased Genome Variance Found in Mitochondria DNA Study

A team of molecular biologists has developed a method for identification of genetic variants present at the single-mitochondrion level in individual mouse and human neuronal cells, allowing for the extremely high-resolution study of mitochondrial mutation dynamics. More...
