Image: In rheumatoid arthritis, fibroblast-like synoviocytes—specialized cells that line the inside of joints—invade and destroy the affected joint\'s cartilage. Ezrin, which plays in important role in cell adhesion and migration, is shown in green, actin in red, and the cells\' nuclei in blue (Photo courtesy of Dr. Karen Doody and Dr. Bill Kiosses, La Jolla Institute of Allergy and Immunology).

Treating New Rheumatoid Arthritis Drug Target Would Not Increase Immune Suppression

Treatment directed at a newly identified drug target in rheumatoid arthritis would prevent damage to the joints while not increasing the immune suppression that is induced by the action of currently used therapies.  More...

Sorting and Selecting Cancer Cells by Their Motility Will Advance Understanding of Metastatic Processes

In order to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms that cause some cancer cells to break away from the primary tumor and migrate to other parts of the body, a team of cancer researchers has created an instrument for sorting and selecting cancer cells based on their motility.  More...

Experimental Drug Blocks Critical Lung Cancer DNA Repair Enzyme

A low molecular weight drug—effective on its own and in combination with radiation therapy—has been developed that interferes specifically with the cell cycle of lung cancer cells.  More...

Preliminary Clinical Trial Demonstrates Feasibility of Treating Multiple Myeloma with the Patient's Own Marrow-Infiltrating Lymphocytes

Results of a small clinical trial support the feasibility of using a multiple myeloma patient's marrow-infiltrating lymphocytes as the basis for adoptive T cell therapy.  More...

Target Molecule for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis Identified

A protein marker expressed by a subset of human lymphocytes, which is capable of crossing the blood brain barrier and causing inflammation and damage to the neural tissues of individuals with multiple sclerosis, has been singled out as a potential drug target for treatment of the disease.  More...

Caption: Using a Drosophila fruit fly model to study sugar sensing, researchers have discovered that the transcription factor “cabut” (cbt) represses accumulation of several metabolic targets and provides a regulatory link between nutrient sensing and the circadian clock (Photo courtesy of Bartok O, Mari Teesalu, et al. 2015, and EMBO Journal).

Cabut Coordinates Metabolism and Clock in Response to Nutrient Sensing

Using a Drosophila fruit fly model to study sugar sensing, researchers have discovered that the transcription factor and developmental growth regulator, cabut, coordinates energy metabolism as well as the circadian clock in response to sugar sensing.  More...

Lipoprotein Receptor Mutation Linked to Increased Coronary Heart Disease Risk

A mutation caused by a single nucleotide polymorphism in a cell membrane lipoprotein receptor has been linked to a significantly higher risk for developing coronary heart disease.  More...
