A Subpopulation of Melanoma Cells Lacks VEGFR and Resists Antiangiogenic Therapy
Melanoma researchers have discovered a subpopulation of cancer cells that generate new blood vessels by expressing the vascular cell adhesion molecule PECAM1, but not VEGFR-2, the major signaling molecule normally associated with new blood vessel formation. More...05 Nov 2014
Mapping Tool Reveals Cocoa May Reverse Age-Related Memory Decline
Dietary cocoa flavanols, naturally occurring bioactives found in cocoa, has been shown to reverse age-related memory decline in healthy older adults, according to new findings. Flavanols are also found naturally in tea leaves and in specific fruits and vegetables. More...05 Nov 2014
Researchers Convert Human Skin Cells Directly into Brain cells
Scientists are transforming human skin cells directly into a specific type of brain cell affected by Huntington’s disease, an ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disorder. Dissimilar to other strategies that turn one cell type into another, this new process does not pass through a stem cell phase, avoiding the production of multiple cell types. More...04 Nov 2014
