Candidate Anticancer Drug Effectively Treats Drug-resistant Pancreatic Cancer

A candidate anticancer drug derived from the medicinal bark of a Chinese tree was shown to effectively treat drug-resistant pancreatic cancer alone or in combination with other pancreatic cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. More...

Gene Mutation Reduces Glucose Uptake and Premature Mortality

A loss-of-function mutation in a gene in the digestive tract reduces glucose uptake from ingested food, which helps to protect the individual from diabetes, obesity, heart failure, and premature mortality from these disorders. More...

Long Non-Coding RNA Identified Modulates Synaptic Morphology and Function

A specific long non-coding RNA that exists in the hippocampal neurons of the brain was found to be enriched in the cells' nuclei and was shown to be necessary for modulating synaptic communication, synapse density, synapse morphology, and dendritic tree complexity. More...

Elevated Collagen XIII Levels Linked to Breast Cancer Metastasis

Elevated levels of the transmembrane protein collagen XIII were found to be associated with breast cancer metastasis, cell invasion, anoikis resistance, and poor prognosis for the patient. More...

Image: Researchers have found a deficiency in the protein STIM1 in brain tissue from patients with Alzheimer\'s disease. Its involvement in neurodegenerative processes has been verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing (Photo courtesy of the University of Extremadura).

Gene Editing Used to Mimic Dysfunctional Neurodegenerative Calcium Transport

A team of neurodegenerative disease researchers working with various Alzheimer's disease model systems has found that expression levels of the STIM1 gene in brain tissues decreased with the progression of neurodegeneration. More...

Screening Technique Finds Endothelial Cells Targeted by Nanoparticles

A recently developed technique allows researchers to identify lipid nanoparticles that preferentially target endothelial cells – rather than liver cells – for transport of the components of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool. More...
