Melanoma Cells Secrete Factors to Promote Tumor Growth

A team of British researchers found that high Myosin II activity in invasive melanoma cells induced reprogramming of innate immune responses in the local microenvironment to support tumor growth. More...

Three-Dimensional Growth Chamber Promotes Understanding of Angiogenesis

Collaboration between French and Japanese researchers resulted in the development of a three-dimensional "microvessel-on-a-chip" device for advancing the understanding of the processes that drive angiogenesis (production of new blood vessels). More...

Lowering Cholesteryl Ester Levels Reduces Tau Tangles

An excess of cholesteryl esters, the storage product for excess cholesterol within cells, was shown to induce tau protein in neurons to form abnormal aggregates called neurofibrillary tangles that are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. More...

The circles surrounding the H-shaped core are hollow portals through which implanted neural stem cells can extend axons into host tissues (Photo courtesy of Jacob Koffler and Wei Zhu, University of California, San Diego).

Synthetic Printed Implants Prompt Spinal Regeneration in Model

The potential use of three-dimensional (3D) printing to produce replacement components for the repair of spinal damage was demonstrated in a rat model system. More...
