Experimental Small-Molecule Anticancer Drug Blocks RAS-binding Domains
The experimental small-molecule anticancer drug rigosertib was shown to block tumor growth by acting as an RAS-mimetic and interacting with the RAS binding domains of RAF kinases, resulting in their inability to bind to RAS, which inhibited the RAS-RAF-MEK pathway. More...04 May 2016

Cardiac Researchers Use Stem Cells to Generate Functional Heart Muscle 
Stem cell researchers have developed a new technique to form micro-scale arrays of engineered heart muscle (EHM) from fewer than 10,000 starter cells without requirement for adherence features or extracellular matrix (ECM). More...

Cells Loaded with Prodrug-Containing Microparticles Selectively Destroy Prostate Cancer Tumors
A novel approach to treating metastatic prostate cancer with minimal adverse side effects is based on cellular transport of a harmless prodrug that is activated and becomes toxic only in the vicinity of the tumor microenvironment. More...02 May 2016


Stem Cells Derived from Older Individuals May Carry Unsafe Mitochondrial DNA Mutations
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from the skin fibroblasts of older individuals have a likelihood of harboring mitochondrial DNA mutations, which may render them unfit for clinical applications. More...29 Apr 2016
