Misuse of Antibiotics May Spur Bacterial Acquisition of Drug Resistance
A review of literature regarding acquisition of drug resistance by bacteria advanced the theory that often resistance is transferred by uptake of DNA that had been released by resistant organisms broken open by the stress of antibiotic treatment. More...18 Mar 2013
Change in Energy Pathway Enables Malignant Melanoma Cells to Survive BRAF Inhibition
BRAF-positive metastatic malignant melanoma cells survive treatment with BRAF inhibitors by increasing dependence on mitochondrial activity with concomitant change of energy production to the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. More...18 Mar 2013
Novel Chemical Probe Targets Malignant Brain Tumor Genome
The development of a chemical probe that specifically targets the L3MBTL3 methyl-lysine reader domain will enable cancer researchers to investigate the function of malignant brain tumor domain proteins in biology and disease. More...14 Mar 2013
Protein Chimera Activates Antitumor Immunity in Mouse Model
Cancer researchers have synthesized a chimeric protein comprising the large stress protein or chaperone Grp170 and a fragment of the bacterial protein flagellin that blocked tumor growth and metastasis by mobilizing or restoring antitumor immunity. More...14 Mar 2013
