Interactive Cancer Drug Discovery Database Has Been Enlarged and Enhanced

An important interactive data base for cancer drug discovery has been updated and augmented by the addition of three-dimensional structures of mutated proteins and maps of cancer communication networks.  More...

Thermal Microscopy Could Help Detect Disease

A thermal microscope that produces heat maps of single cells could help detect disease conditions at the sub-cell scale, according to a new study.   More...

Proteasome-Activating Drug Reverses Neurodegenerative Disease Symptoms in Mouse Model

Accumulation of insoluble tau protein complexes, which characterizes several types of neurodegenerative diseases, was associated with a decrease in brain proteasome peptidase activity that could be restored by treatment with a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor drug.  More...

Maintenance of a Stable Karyotype Depends on Action of a Long Noncoding RNA

A long noncoding RNA regulates cellular genomic stability by sequestering the PUMILIO proteins, which would otherwise drive chromosomal instability by repressing mitotic, DNA repair, and DNA replication factors.  More...

Right panel: Differentiated tumor following anti-Malat1 ASO treatment with cyst-like cells filled with fluid containing, among other things, milk proteins. Treated tumors were comparatively static with reduced metastatic activity (Photo courtesy of Spector Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

Loss of Long Noncoding RNA Inhibits Breast Tumor Metastasis in Mouse Model

Blocking the activity of a single long noncoding RNA in malignant breast cancer mouse models transformed aggressive cancers into slow growing cyst-like tumors and reversed the metastatic process by up to 70%.  More...

Inhaled Viral Capsids Trigger Systemic Antitumor Response in Mouse Model

The shells of deactivated Cowpea mosaic virus were found have potent adjuvant activity on cancer growth, which was demonstrated by the ability to block immune system suppression in the tumor microenvironment and subsequently to trigger a full-blown systemic antitumor immune response.  More...

Maple Syrup Compound a Potent Anti-Inflammatory Agent

A substance that forms during the process that renders maple sap into syrup was found to have potent anti-inflammatory properties that may be developed into drugs for treatment of diseases characterized by chronic inflammation such as arthritis.  More...
