Novel Adenoviral Vector Targets Tumor Blood Vessel Endothelial Cells
Researchers working with mouse cancer models used a novel gene-therapy approach to demonstrate the potential for directing therapeutic agents specifically to tumor blood vessels while avoid interaction with the liver or other normal tissues. More...07 Jan 2014

Hypoxia-Inducible Factors Activate Breast Cancer Metastatic Genes
Factors related to hypoxia, the condition of low oxygen content that characterizes the microenvironment surrounding breast tumors, have been linked to the activation of genes that encode proteins that transform benign breast cancer cells into mobile and invasive metastatic cells. More...06 Jan 2014
Bacterial Persistence to Antibiotic Treatment Mediated by HipA Toxin Inhibition of Glutamyl-tRNA-Synthetase Activity
A team of molecular microbiologists has identified the molecular pathway that induces some types of "persistent" bacteria to enter a static or dormant phase when faced with antibiotic treatment. More...06 Jan 2014
