New Chemical Cocktail Enables Study of Totipotent Stem Cells
A team of developmental molecular biologists has formulated a chemical cocktail that enables the derivation of stem cells with unique functional and molecular features from mice and humans including the ability to maintain a state of totipotency that allows them to develop into extra-embryonic tissues such as placenta.

X-Ray Crystallography Findings Aid Discovery of New Drugs
Sensitive X-ray crystallography techniques were used to determine the three-dimensional (3D) molecular structure of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme RNA polymerase (Mtb RNAP) alone and when bound to the present first-line anti-tuberculosis drug rifampin. More...18 Apr 2017


Cancer Growth Influenced by Myosin and FAK Protein Interaction
A team of cancer researchers has found that the interaction between the myosin and FAK (Focal adhesion kinase) proteins is critical to the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread to sites distant from that of the primary tumor. More...13 Apr 2017

Cholesterol-Lowering Small RNA Drug Shows Promise in Early Trial
Results of a phase II, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending-dose clinical trial confirmed that the experimental small interfering RNA (siRNA) drug inclisiran was effective for treating patients with elevated LDL cholesterol levels who were at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease. More...12 Apr 2017
