Australian scientists uncover new way to halt aggressive cancer growth
Australian researchers have discovered a promising new strategy to suppress the growth of aggressive and hard-to-treat cancers by targeting a specialized molecular process known as ‘minor splicing’.
Published in EMBO Reports, the…

Understanding nucleosomes’ role in cellular efficiency
Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter. The cell manages this by winding the strings of DNA around…

Association of pulse pressure with presynaptic dysfunction in older adults with Alzheimer’s disease: a cohort study
Our findings revealed significant relationships between PP and the presynaptic dysfunction marker CSF GAP-43, and CSF p-tau levels. Mediation analysis further suggested that CSF GAP-43 may serve as potential pathway through which vascular aging…

Development and validation of a visual nomogram for predicting clinically significant prostate cancer in negative mpMRI using 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT
The use of mpMRI has increased for the localization of newly diagnosed lesions and repeat biopsies due to its sensitivity in detecting csPCa17. For positive mpMRI, systematic biopsy plus target biopsy can improve the detection of csPCa. For…

Suppression of ERK signalling promotes pluripotent epiblast in the human blastocyst
Exogenous FGF is sufficient to drive human hypoblast specification
We hypothesized that FGF4 may play a conserved role in human pre-implantation development. Transcriptional analysis of human pre-implantation embryos17,18,19 indicates that there…

Development of tetraculture spheroids as a versatile 3D model for personalized breast cancer research
Cell culture
T47D, BT474, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231, Ea.Hy926, THP-1 cell lines were purchased from ATCC. T47D and BT474 were cultured in RPMI-1640 (Merck Millipore Corporation, Germany) medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1%…
