Anticancer Compounds Found in Medicinal Plant

Compounds isolated from the medicinal plant Ambrosia arborescens or derived from them synthetically were found to have potent toxic effect on cancer stem cells in three different breast cancer cell lines. More...

Image: Mice infected with the bacteria Yersinia pseudotuberculosis form granulomas - structures that confine pathogens. But those with a mutant form of the RIPK1 enzyme, rendering cells unable to undergo a particular form of cell death called apoptosis, do not. This RIPK1-induced apoptosis is thought to be a strategy that helps dying cells alert their neighbors that an infection is present (Photo courtesy of the University of Pennsylvania).

Mechanism Identified Protects Cells from Virulence Factors

A team of molecular microbiologists has identified the mechanism that allows some cells to survive invasion by pathogenic bacteria such as species of Yersinia, which cause a range of illness from plague to gastrointestinal disease in humans. More...

Advanced Proteomics Strategy Identifies Promising Drug Target

Use of an advanced proteomics strategy led to the discovery of a protein in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells that could be targeted by low molecular weight drugs. More...

Beta-cells Heterogeneity Uncovered by Tracing Developmental Origins

Heterogeneity among β-cells has recently become evident, and it is thought that this heterogeneity might play a role in the progression of diabetes. Researchers have developed a system that enables tracing of the developmental history of β-cells by genetic barcoding and multicolor imaging. In a study using the zebrafish model, they found that different histories of β-cells generate functional and proliferative heterogeneity during islet growth. More...

Image: Tissue staining shows Group A Streptococcus soft tissue infection at the cellular level. (L-R) Uninfected mouse tissue and mouse tissue 48 hours after infection. The dense dots indicate immune system cells that swarmed in to attempt to control the infection. The densest purple staining toward the bottom is necrotic tissue surrounding bacteria (Photo courtesy of Joshua Leiberman, University of Maryland).

Two Critical Genes Identified for Soft Tissue Infections

A team of molecular microbiologists has identified two genes that are critical for infection of soft tissue and dissemination into the bloodstream by pathogenic Group A Streptococcus bacteria. More...

Staphylococcus Aureus Avoids Inducing Immune Memory in Model

A team of medical microbiologists has identified the mechanism that prevents the body's immune system from developing an effective protective response to repeated Staphylococcus aureus infections. More...

Gene Therapy Targets Liver in Mouse MS Study

Results of studies carried out on a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS) demonstrated the potential of a novel potent and long-lasting gene immunotherapy approach for preventing and treating the disease. More...
