Blocking Phosphatidylcholine Synthesis Lowers Levels of Circulating Lipids in Mouse Hyperlipidemia Model
Cardiovascular disease researchers seeking new ways to treat hyperlipidemia found that inhibition of the gene encoding a protein required for biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a major cell membrane component, in a mouse model resulted in decreased levels of lipids in circulation.

Novel Spin Column-Based Kits for Standardized Extraction of Exosome RNA
A novel spin column-based method has been developed that provides a faster, more reliable means for the isolation of RNA from exosomes for research, delivering high-quality results with less labor-intensive sample preparation. More...21 Sep 2015

Blocking the MicroRNA That Controls Angiogenesis Slows Breast Tumor Growth in a Diabetic Mouse Model
A team of molecular biologists demonstrated that it was possible to inhibit growth of breast tumors in a diabetic mouse model by injecting the animals with an antagonist of the microRNA that controls the process of angiogenesis. More...20 Sep 2015


Blocking Glycolysis Helps Antimitotic Chemotherapeutic Drugs to Work Better
Blocking the attempts of tumor cells to establish glycolysis as their primary means of generating energy was found to significantly augment the chemotherapeutic benefits of drugs that prevent the cells from dividing. More...15 Sep 2015
Toxic Peptide from Wasp Venom Targets Cancer Cell Membrane Phospholipids
A toxic peptide component of the venom produced by a South American wasp effectively destroys some types of cancer cells through interactions with groups of phospholipids that are distributed abnormally on their cell membranes. More...15 Sep 2015
