Researchers have, for the first time, observed a mechanism used by cancer cells to resist the effects of chemotherapy. The findings could be used to develop targeted drugs to help override it and ...

As described April 28, 2023 in Science, they have now extended this research using synthetic biology to engineer a solution that keeps cells from reaching their normal levels of deterioration ...

New mechanism of action kills cancer cells Date: August 14, 2024 Source: Ruhr-University Bochum Summary: Conventional cancer drugs work by triggering apoptosis, that is programmed cell death, in ...

In 2020 biologist Michael Levin and his colleagues reported that they had made “biological robots” by shaping clusters of cells into tiny artificial forms that could “walk” around on surfaces.

An international team of neuroscientists, led by Duke-NUS Medical School, have uncovered a mechanism that controls the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are crucial for repairing and ...

Cancer Chemotherapy can make healthy blood cells 'look old' Cancer New blood test detects cancers 3 years before typical diagnosis, study hints Cancer Some early-onset cancers are on the rise.

With cryo-EM, they were able to see how multiple copies of CDK5RAP2 bind around the outside of the cone-shaped γTuRC, allowing it to adopt a form that can efficiently start microtubule growth.
