Researchers developed an in vitro assay to investigate hypoxic effects on the metastatic potential and relevant drug resistance of cancer cells.

New research amongst the world’s biggest consumers of dairy foods has shown that those with higher intakes of dairy fat - measured by levels of fatty acids in the blood - had a lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those with low intakes. The types rather than amount of dairy fat may be what counts.

Caltech researchers have created embryo-like structures out of human stem cells. In contrast to natural embryos that are formed by a combination of sperm and egg, these structures are formed by combining so-called pluripotent stem cells, which have the ability to develop into specialized types of cells.

Researchers have revealed how stopping the growth of older actin filaments promotes the formation of new ones, thereby maintaining the structure and function of the cytoskeleton, much like proper pruning of hedges in the garden.

The meninges (which contain large numbers of immune cells) and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protect the brain from external influences such as trauma, and probably also play an important role in inflammation. Scientists have now investigated exactly which immune cells populate the meninges and the cerebrospinal fluid in healthy conditions.

Researchers have established an organoid biobank to search for the genes that are essential for the spreading of a SARS-CoV2 infection.

Researchers have discovered a new multi-enzyme complex that reprograms metabolism and overcomes cellular senescence.

The experience of a fruit fly dying from cancer may seem worlds away from that of a human with a life-threatening tumor, yet researchers are discovering commonalities between the two that could reveal ways to improve the survival of cancer patients.

Researchers have developed a neutrophil-selective fluorescent probe, through metabolism-oriented live-cell distinction, that enables them to decipher live neutrophils, the most common white blood cell in humans.

Ground-breaking new research has discovered a possible new pathway that may kickstart Alzheimer’s disease, in a significant finding that offers potential new prevention and treatment opportunities.
