Making Christmas trees under duress, or how cells regulate the production of ribosomal RNA
Some of the most enduring images for a molecular biologist are electron microscopy micrographs of the so-called “Christmas trees”, famously first observed by Oscar Miller from newt oocytes in 1969. These intriguing structures (Fig. 1A) capture the
Biologics Unleashed: Next-Gen Development Techniques
The world of biopharmaceuticals is witnessing an era of unprecedented growth, largely fueled by the advancements in biologics development. Biologics, unlike traditional small-molecule drugs, are complex proteins derived from living cells used to treat a plethora of
Rabbits with mammary carcinomas as a model for comparative pathology and translational science in breast cancer research
Within a breeding colony of rabbits, the American pathologist Harry Greene (1904-1969) observed that mammary carcinomas were restricted to certain families. This is suggestive of a familiar predisposition as it occurs in human breast cancer. In rabbits,
