New research tool for studying mitochondrial disorders and aging
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a new research tool for studying how mitochondrial protein synthesis is affected by disease, pharmaceuticals, ageing and different physiological situations such as exercise and diet. The study is presented in the scientific…
Potential drug targets for glioblastoma identified
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified 10 tumour-specific potential drug targets for the brain tumour glioblastoma. The results are presented in the scientific journal Cell Reports . “We have found disease-related changes in the cells that line the…
‘Big data’ for life sciences
A human protein co-regulation map reveals new insights into protein functions
Achilles heel of tumor cells
In 90 percent of all cases of colon cancer, the tumour cells have one thing in common: the APC gene is mutated. Research groups at Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, were looking for targets in these cells that could…
Transient wave of hematopoietic stem cell production in late fetuses and young adults
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for the constant replenishment of all blood cells throughout life. One of the major challenges in regenerative medicine is to produce tailor-made HSCs to replace the defective ones in patients suffering from blood related…

Fralin Biomedical Research Institute leads multi-university team in neuroscience study
CNIO researchers describe a molecular strategy that helps prevent tumour formation in mice
The body’s process for manufacturing fatty acids is regulated by the enzyme FASN. In normal cells, this is not a very active process – except occasionally in the liver and adipose tissue – since most of the fatty acids we…

Ramping up to divide: An unstable protein is the master switch for cell division
An extremely unstable protein, Cln3, appears to be the master switch that activates cell division in budding yeast. Cln3 concentrations only reach high enough levels to trigger the cell division process when the rate of protein synthesis outpaces the rate…

Red Algae Thrive Despite Ancestor’s Massive Loss of Genes
You’d think that losing 25 percent of your genes would be a big problem for survival. But not for red algae, including the seaweed used to wrap sushi. An ancestor of red algae lost about a quarter of its genes roughly one billion years ago, but the algae still became dominant in near-shore coastal areas around the world, according to Rutgers University–New Brunswick Professor Debashish Bhattacharya, who co-authored a study in the journal Nature Communications.
