Oxygen-Deprived RNA Molecules Found to Lead to Tumor Progression

New research has discovered a previously unknown phenomenon: key regulatory molecules are decreased when deprived of oxygen, which leads to increased cancer progression in vitro and in vivo.  More...

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...

Image: This fMRI scan shows the brain area outlined in yellow is the hippocampus; the dentate gyrus is shown in green and the entorhinal cortex in purple. Previous work, including by the laboratory of senior author Scott A. Small, M.D., had shown that changes in a specific part of the brain’s hippocampus--the dentate gyrus--are associated with normal age-related memory decline in humans and other mammals. The dentate gyrus is distinct from the entorhinal cortex, the hippocampal region affected in early-stage Alzheimer’s disease (Photo courtesy of the Laboratory of Scott A. Small, MD).

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...

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...

Blocking Enzyme Switch Turns Off Tumor Growth in T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Researchers recently reported that blocking the action of an enzyme “switch” needed to activate tumor growth is emerging as a practical strategy for treating T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.  More...
