Cancer metastasis: Cell polarity matters

Not only the number of migrating cancer cells determines the risk for metastasis but also their characteristics. For circulating cancer cells to be able to invade tissues and settle at other sites in the body, they have to exhibit a specific polarity. This discovery might in future help to better predict individual risk for metastasis and find appropriate therapies that can reduce it….

Familial breast cancer not only inherited genetically, finds new study

Doctors will be better able to predict breast cancer risk thanks to pioneering work by researchers, who have identified heritable but non-genetic markers for breast cancer susceptibility….

Enabling technology for emerging gene therapies

For years, researchers have attempted to harness the full potential of gene therapy, a technique that inserts genes into a patient’s cells to treat cancer and other diseases. However, inserting engineered DNA molecules into cells is difficult. A team of engineers has developed a new method that could make the process easier….

Let Your Salad Speak For Itself: 8 Ways To Spruce Up Your Greens

Most people have the misconception that Vegans only eat salad! False!.

This would not leave us with enough calories or healthy fats to sustain a balanced diet.

Did you know that, on average, a vegetable salad holds about 200 calories? This is nowhere near enough to leave you feeling comfortably full or getting you all of the nutrients you need. I admit even though I enjoy a leafy plate of greens, vege…

Running rings around cholera outbreaks

Targeting vaccine and other interventions to those in the vicinity of people with cholera could be an effective way to control cholera outbreaks, which can have devastating effects after disasters and in other emergency settings, according to new research….

How do teachers integrate STEM into K-12 classrooms?

Although the call for improving STEM education is widespread, there is little guidance for teachers on how to do so. A team set out to outline challenges and find best practices for teachers to better integrate science, technology, engineering and math in their classrooms….

When treating athletes for heat stroke, 'cool first, transport second'

Athletes who suffer life-threatening heat stroke should be cooled on site before they are taken to the hospital, according to a new article. The principle of ‘cool first, transport second’ differs from the usual practice of calling 911 and getting to the hospital as soon as possible….

Jekyll and Hyde and seek

Researchers have described how a signaling protein that normally suppresses tumors can be manipulated (or re-programmed) by growth factors, turning it into a driver of malignant growth and metastasis….

Microfluidic device captures, allows analysis of tumor-specific extracellular vesicles

A new microfluidic device may help realize the potential of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles — tiny lipid particles that carry molecules through the bloodstream — as biomarkers that could monitor a tumor’s response to therapy and provide detailed information to guide treatment choice….
