Novel Culture Technique Generates Large Numbers of Functional Human Muscle Cells
A novel technique that uses free-floating spherical culture in a defined, serum-free culture medium generated large numbers of functional muscle cells from human embryonic stem and induced pluripotent stem cells. More...30 Mar 2014
Bacterium Induced to Resist Radiation Damage in the Lab
By exploiting the ability of an organism to evolve in response to punishment from a hostile environment, scientists have coaxed the bacterium Escherichia coli to drastically resist ionizing radiation, and at the same time, reveal the genetic mechanisms that make the feat possible.

Cathepsin B Inhibitors Ease Alzheimer's Symptoms by Blocking Amyloid Plaque Formation
Neurobiologists studying the molecular processes underlying Alzheimer's disease have identified the mechanism that explains how inhibition of cathepsin B activity blocks formation of the toxic amyloid-beta peptides that characterize the disease. More...27 Mar 2014



ATP-Triggered Nanoparticles Effectively Kill Breast Cancer Cells in Mouse Model
A recent paper describes novel nanoparticles that transport toxic anticancer drugs specifically to tumor cells where they are engulfed and induced to release their cargo by the high intracellular concentration of adenosine-5'-triphosphate. More...25 Mar 2014
