A protein that typically helps keep cells organised and on task becomes a tumour suppressor in the face of liver cancer, scientists say.
A new cell separator that began life as a tinfoil and epoxy glue prototype built with supplies from a University shop could revolutionise stem-cell and regenerative cell-based therapies.

New research provides insights into why infection with Zika virus after birth generally causes only mild symptoms, whereas devastating foetal malformations can develop when infection occurs during pregnancy.
Changes leading to the hyperactivation of the protein kinase Akt are observed in 50% of all tumours. Understanding Akt’s regulatory mechanisms is therefore essential for developing and improving cancer therapies....
Pluristem Therapeutics announced the promising results of its non-human primates (NHP) pilot study for PLX-R18 as a treatment for Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS).
Researchers have developed AI based data analysis methods used in a smartphone app which can estimate its users' health risks...
Viruses are notorious for taking over their host's operations and using them to their own advantage. But few human viruses make themselves quite as cozy as the Epstein-Barr virus, which can be found in an estimated 9/10 humans without causing any ill effects. That is, until this virus causes mononucleosis…
Pancreatic beta cells help maintain normal blood glucose levels by producing the hormone insulin -- the master regulator of energy (glucose). Impairment and the loss of beta cells interrupts insulin production, leading to type 1 and 2 diabetes.
Brain cancers are difficult to treat, and it can be hard to predict whether a therapy will be effective. When the patient is a child, it's even more important to predict the potential effectiveness of a drug before beginning treatment.
The molecule microRNA-210 stabilises deposits in the carotid artery and can thus prevent them from tearing, and prevent dangerous blood clots from forming.
Scientists have demonstrated the existence of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI) among Drosophila fruit flies...
A team of researchers have generated cartilage tissue by printing stem cells using a 3D-bioprinter...
Epilepsy is a complex neurological disorder that afflicts approximately 50 million people worldwide. Although this disease has been known to exist for centuries, the exact mechanism of its cardinal symptom, the epileptic seizure, remains poorly understood. In fact, roughly 25% of epileptic seizures can’t be controlled by any of the…
