Pancreatic cancer: specific protein promotes development of pancreatitis and tumours
A study has shown that disruption to cell autophagy is involved in the development of pancreatic cancer.
UV light microscope proves useful diagnostic tool
Recent study shows how a microscope using ultraviolet (UV) light to illuminate samples enables pathologists to assess high-resolution images of biopsies and other fresh tissue samples for disease, quickly and effectively.
Anle138b blocks toxic ion flow linked to Alzheimer’s disease
A new small-molecule drug can restore brain function and memory in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease by stopping toxic ion flow in the brain...

Tumour cell biology reveals characteristic that causes metastasis
A collaborative team of researchers in the US have uncovered characteristics of tumour cells that are linked to cancer metastasis.
Lung tumours communicate with bones to progress disease
Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have identified how a type of lung cancer co-opts a portion of the immune system via bone marrow to increase tumour progression.
Scientists make key development in understanding type-2 diabetes mechanism
Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have deciphered the mechanisms that link obesity with type-2 diabetes at the cellular level, thus explaining the reasons behind an association that is already well known.
