Next-Generation Sequencing – News and Features

News
Researchers Create Map of Tumor Cells for Personalized Brain Cancer Treatments
Researchers have demonstrated that characterizing genetic material near chromosomes forecasts how mutated, cancer-causing genes reengineer DNA and alter the tumor microenvironment.

News
Repurposed Cancer Drugs Promote Stroke Recovery
A study shows how a class of drugs, HDACi (histone deacetylase inhibitors), protects neurons and limits brain damage following stroke by altering the gene expression of microglia, the immune cells of the brain.

Exercise Alters Brain Cell Activity in Alzheimer’s Disease
A study found that exercise alters brain cell activity in Alzheimer’s disease, specifically in microglia and newly discovered neurovascular-associated astrocytes. The findings offer a roadmap for future Alzheimer’s therapies.

News
HPV Drives Tumor Development in Rare Nasal Cancers
Human papillomavirus can drive tumor development in some rare sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas, according to a new comprehensive study of these tumors.

News
Less Diverse Oral Microbiome May Be Linked to Depression
A study suggests that individuals with less diverse oral microbiomes are more likely to report symptoms of depression. The research highlights the potential link between oral health and mental well-being.

News
“Molecular GPS” Set To Fast-Track Drug Discovery
A new spatial transcriptomics analysis resource is helping scientists explore how genes behave differently in various parts of the body. This could help to zero in on exact biological processes that could be targeted to treat disease.

News
Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Made 47 Times Cheaper by New Method
A new method combines microscopy with single-cell RNA analysis to make the technique more accessible and scalable, giving researchers an advantage in the numbers game of single-cell analysis.

News
Cell Bank Reveals Autism's Genetic Roots
Researchers have created 63 genetically engineered mouse stem cell lines to study autism-related mutations, especially copy number variations (CNVs). The library reveals shared protein production issues across different autism mutations.

News
Scientists Identify Neurons Responsible for Suppressing Binge Drinking
Scientists have identified the discrete group of co-activated neurons in the brain that work to suppress binge drinking behaviors. This could become a new therapeutic target for alcohol dependency.
