View ArticleNovel mechanism increases arterial diameter, allows increased inflow
Upon a heart infarct or stroke, rapid restoration of blood flow, and oxygen delivery to the hypoperfused regions is of eminent importance to prevent further damage to the heart or brain. Arterial...
View ArticleTwo studies find age as a primary factor in melanoma treatment resistance
Age may cause identical cancer cells with the same mutations to behave differently. In animal and laboratory models of melanoma cells, age was a primary factor in treatment response.
View ArticleAntiangiogenic drugs increase the aggressiveness of some kidney tumors
Angiogenesis is the process by which tumors create new blood vessels that will provide them the nutrients to continue growing.
View ArticleHKUST researchers identify new therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have identified new therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's disease (AD) by studying the patients' brain with a newly-developed methodology.

A new study shows the benefits of using computational design to create antibody nanocages that have the required orientation.
View ArticleUnique inhibitory protein may suppress the formation of cancer cells
Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) identify a novel role for a protein, vasohibin-1, in preventing cancer cells from spreading
View ArticleResearchers uncover key regulation step that inhibits tumor growth
Most living things need oxygen to grow and thrive. Even cancerous tumors. That's why tumors will readily sprout new blood vessels if their oxygen is starved, creating new lifelines for survival.
View ArticleChronic hypoxia upregulates RNA polymerase I, alters methylation on ribosomal...
Hypoxia -- where a tissue is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen -- is a feature inside solid cancer tumors that renders them highly invasive and resistant to treatment. Study of how cells adapt...
