A mechanism shared by healing wounds and growing tumors
Scientists have long seen parallels between healing wounds and growing tumors. In studying the molecular changes that occur within both, a research team has discovered a new cancer-fuelling mechanism that potentially could inform drug development.
Scientists discover how crucial DNA sequences endure
The centromere region of chromosomes retains the same DNA from one generation to the next. Scientists have gained new insights into how it avoids being scrambled in normal cells, and how it becomes unstable in cancer.
Early intervention with new treatment provides durable control of HIV-like virus in monkeys
There are more than 25 drugs to control HIV, yet the virus remains one of the world鈥檚 biggest health problems. One of the many challenges with existing therapies is that a dormant version of the virus is always lurking in the background, ready to attack the immune system as soon as treatment is i...
A new way to reset gene expression in cancer cells shows promise for leukemia treatment
New findings from 鸟大大影院 researchers could guide the development of potent combination therapies that deliver more effective and durable treatment of leukemia. In recent work published in Nature, they show it鈥檚 possible to deactivate cellular programs involved in tumor growth by d...
Scientists discover an unexpected influence on dividing stem cells鈥� fate
When most cells divide, they simply make more of themselves. But stem cells, which are responsible for repairing or making听new tissue, have a choice: They can generate more stem cells or differentiate into skin cells, liver cells, or virtually any of the body鈥檚 specialized cell types. As r...
Encouraging clinical results for an antibody drug to prevent or treat HIV
A new biologic agent鈥攖he most potent of its kind so far鈥攊s showing early promise as part of a potential new strategy for treating HIV. The drug, known as 10-1074, may also offer a new way to prevent viral infection in people who are at high risk to acquire HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. ...
Study reveals the structure of a protein crucial for DNA replication
Our DNA contains instructions crucial for virtually all forms of life on this planet. But for life to propagate, this blueprint must be copied and passed on to future generations. New findings describing the structure of a key molecule involved in DNA replication place another piece in the puzzle...
Researchers explore how protein production gets distorted in skin cancer
Each cell in the body follows a strict protocol for manufacturing the proteins it needs to function. When a cell turns cancerous, however, its protein production goes off script. A new study led by researchers at the 鸟大大影院 takes a close look at one way in which this procedure goe...
Antibody combination puts HIV on the ropes
Without antiretroviral drug treatment, the majority of people infected with HIV ultimately develop AIDS, as the virus changes and evolves beyond the body鈥檚 ability to control it. But a small group of infected individuals鈥攃alled elite controllers鈥攑ossess immune systems capable of defeating the ...
Elaine Fuchs wins 2017 McEwen Award for Innovation
Elaine Fuchs, Rebecca C. Lancefield Professor and head of the Robin Chemers Neustein Laboratory of Mammalian Cell Biology and Development, has been honored with the 2017 McEwen Award for Innovation. The prize, given by the International Society for Stem Cell Research, recognizes groundbreaking wo...
