DNA barcoding reveals cancer cells’ ability to evade the immune system
Using DNA barcoding to track cancer cells through time, scientists have shown that the cells have diverse abilities to escape the immune system.
Monkeypox mutations cause virus to spread rapidly, evade drugs and vaccines
Researchers show how monkeypox mutations cause virus to replicate, spread faster.
Metastatic potential of cancer cells increased in high viscosity environments
UPF and John Hopkins scientists have discovered how cancer cells exposed to high viscosity environments change their movements to improve their invasiveness and favour metastases.
Researchers develop and test risk score for pSSNS
Scientists have generated polygenic risk scores for developing paediatric steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome (pSSNS), a kidney disease in children.
Vitamin C improves immunogenic properties of dendritic cells, study shows
Spanish researchers have discovered that vitamin C may hold the key to improving the efficacy of dendritic cell-derived anticancer therapies.
Researchers find activating NPGPx protein could heal diabetic wounds
The NPGPx protein is active in foetuses, but largely dormant and absent in diabetic adults.
Scientists develop an AI model to make enzyme engineering more efficient
Researchers have streamlined the traditionally slow process of enzyme engineering. This work might help researchers tailor the suitability of enzymes for custom purposes.

The College of American Pathologists has given accreditation to Altasciences’ clinical site in Los Angeles, California.
New control system created for synthetic genes
MIT researchers have developed a technique that could help the production of monoclonal antibodies and other useful proteins.
Pre-clinical model of appendiceal cancer developed
Researchers from the University of California have developed the first pre-clinical model of appendiceal cancer, containing all elements of the tumour.
Researchers find that reduction in protein synthesis could lead to Feingold syndrome
The researchers used a zebrafish model to test mutations in Mycn, a gene which causes Feingold syndrome.
New treatment target discovered for sleep apnoea
A recent study in mice revealed that an ion channel already proven to affect blood pressure in obese mice plays a role in suppressing their breathing, influencing sleep apnoea.
Study offers new insights into genetic mutations in ASD
The study’s findings have important implications for better understanding the neurological basis for ASD and developing effective therapies for patients.
