p53 gene reactivation reverts hypoxic resistance in KRAS mutant tumor cells decreasing glucose uptake

When growing distant from primary blood supply sites, tumor cells face hypoxia characterized by niches restricted in oxygen and glucose. Cells acquiring resistant to hypoxic stress undergo metabolic re – programming, and increased resistance to 3 –

A 100 million year-old fungus infesting a primitive wasp in amber

Fungi occur everywhere; in the air, on the ground, in the sea and often in very strange locations. We naturally think of mushrooms in regards to fungi, unless  we encounter black mold on our walls or have

Superthin muscle filaments: evolution and function of titin in skeletal muscle

The mechanisms by which muscle converts chemical to mechanical energy, allowing animal movement, defied explanation for decades. Following the development of the electron microscope and mechanisms of tissue fixation, the ultrastructure of muscle was finally described. Thus

Genome analysis with near-complete privacy possible

Stanford researchers used cryptography to cloak irrelevant genetic information in individuals’ genomes while revealing disease-associated mutations. They say the technique could vastly improve patient privacy. It is now possible to scour complete human genomes for the presence
