A new study proposes that protocells, the putative ancestors of modern living cells, used temperature differences to divide. This simple mechanism could underlie the growth and self-replication of these early cells.
Researchers found that prostaglandin E2 protects epithelial cells from cell death by binding to EP4 receptors. This activation counteracts intestinal inflammation progression and may prevent bacterial penetration.
A new study reveals that multiple pathways regulate poly(A) tail lengths in yeast, involving poly(A) binding proteins and a self-regulating pathway. This discovery sheds light on the complex control of mRNA tails and their impact on protein production.
Researchers developed gel drops from four amino acid peptides that support cell growth and induce blood vessel formation. The microgels were successfully used to grow endothelial cells on their surfaces, which then extended into tubular blood vessels.
Researchers repurpose cancer drug PLX3397 to combat sarcoma's growth and spread in animal models. The treatment inhibits CSF-1/CSF-1R signaling, reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages and stimulating immune cell infiltration.
