Stem-cell activators switch function, repress mature cells

13 hours ago ago from Biology News Net - Latest Biology Articles, News & Current Events

In a developing animal, stem cells proliferate and differentiate to form the organs needed for life. A new study shows how a crucial step in this process happens and how a reversal of that step contributes to cancer. The study, led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, shows for the first time that three proteins, called E2f1, E2f2 ...

Making Drugs Survive Longer in Blood

17 hours ago ago from SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE

Taking a hint from natural antibiotics, a startup spun out of Stanford University is developing a way to chemically alter existing drugs to dramatically improve their half-life. Hiding drugs: In this human blood smear, a modified protease inhibitor (shown in green) is sequestered inside a white blood cell. The cell’s DNA is shown in blue. The drug slowly leaches out into the plasma, greatly extending the drug’s half-life. Researchers ...
