Research provides new insights into molecular basis of X-chromosome inactivation
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg and Institut Curie in Paris have shown that the protein SPEN plays a crucial role in...
Cannabis exposure during pregnancy has measurable impact on placental and fetal growth
A new study from researchers at Western University and Queen’s University definitively shows that regular exposure to THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, during...
Yap suppresses T-cell function and infiltration in the tumor microenvironment
by Eleni Stampouloglou, Nan Cheng, Anthony Federico, Emily Slaby, Stefano Monti, Gregory L. Szeto, Xaralabos Varelas A major challenge for cancer immunotherapy is sustaining T-cell...
A new book on ovarian cancer
An opening discussion of contemporary management of this disease presents commentary on surgery and clinical trials: neoadjuvant, dose-dense, and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC}, as well...
Study opens up new treatment possibilities for Wilms' tumor
As an embryo develops, its cells must learn what to do with the thousands of genes they’ve been equipped with. That’s why each cell comes...
Targeting specific nuclear transport systems may lead to possible therapeutic strategies for cancer
Although less often the focus of cancer research, recent studies have hinted at the possible importance of a type of protein known as nuclear transport...
Researchers identify novel genes associated with severity of peanut allergy
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified novel genes associated with the severity of peanut allergy, as well as ways...
Perinatal exposure of rats to flame retardants changes the liver epigenome
Studies have shown that perinatal exposure of rats and mice to common flame retardants found in household items permanently reprograms liver metabolism, often leading later...
