Scientists control living cells using artificial protein switch
Scientists have created the first completely artificial protein switch that can be ‘programmed’ to modify gene expression.
news
Study finds fat cells play key role in melanoma metastasis
Researchers have found that fat cells transfer cytokines to melanoma cells, which transforms them into aggressive tumours, indicating a drug target for the condition.
