Subpopulation of Fibroblasts Drives Breast Tumor Development
Breast tumors with reduced levels of the enzyme platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGFRalpha), which is caused by recruitment of a distinct subpopulation of bone marrow-derived cancer-associated fibroblasts, have been linked to a worse prognosis for the patient. More...03 Dec 2018
Protein Crystals Used to Prepare Cellular Drug Delivery Nanotubes
A team of Japanese biomolecular engineers used scaffolds of cross-linked protein crystals to prepare nanotubes, which are structures that can serve as the basis for minute delivery systems for drugs and other substances. More...28 Nov 2018
Modified Nanoparticle Drug Carriers Target Solid Tumors in Model
Cancer researchers used novel targeted nanoparticles to transport drugs to solid tumors when the absence of a persistent EPR (enhanced permeability and retention) effect, acted as an access barrier negatively affected the effectiveness of drug delivery. More...27 Nov 2018
Linked Antibodies Provide Universal Protection from Influenza Infection
A potential universal vaccine that would protect individuals from infection by all strains of influenza virus is based on multidomain antibodies that were fabricated by combining selected llama single-domain antibodies. More...22 Nov 2018
