Colon Cancer Cells Adopt Stem Cell Characteristics to Metastasize to the Liver
Cancer researchers have identified an interlocked set of enzyme activities, similar to those found in stem cells, expressed in colorectal cancer cells, which confer on these cells the enhanced cellular motility required for metastasis into the liver. More...12 Jul 2015


Relieving Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress May Prevent Some Types of Chronic Disease
A team of cell biologists has identified an enzyme that protects cells against endoplasmic reticulum stress and prevents the apoptosis that characterizes such chronic diseases as Wolfram syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, and Parkinson's disease. More...08 Jul 2015
New Gel Extends Release Half-Life of PEGylated Drugs
Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind hydrogel for more effective long-term drug delivery that would also reduce side-effects and discomfort for patients. Their proof-of-concept study showed effectiveness of the hydrogel with the hepatitis C drug PEGylated-interferon. More...08 Jul 2015

Protected Telomeres Keep Precancerous Cells from Entering the Apoptotic Pathway
A team of molecular and cell biologists has shown that potentially cancerous cells could be eliminated from the body by rendering their telomeres more susceptible to the actions of drugs that block mitosis and direct the cells onto the apoptotic pathway. More...08 Jul 2015

Seeding Assay May Boost Search for Huntington's Disease Drugs
An assay technique that measures seeding of mutant huntingtin aggregates in cerebral spinal fluid may identify individuals with Huntington's disease that have not yet become symptomatic and may be used to evaluate the efficacy of new drug treatments for the disease. More...07 Jul 2015
