Tackling the hurdle of tumor formation in stem cell therapies

A breakthrough discovery by Nara Institute of Science and Technology researchers identifies EPHA2 as a critical surface protein for preserving stem cell potency. This finding holds promise for safer regenerative medicine by reducing the risk of tumorigenesis, paving the way for organ repair and treatment of degenerative conditions.

Cells send out stop signs

Researchers discovered that cells can pack and release ephrins and Eph receptors through extracellular vesicles, allowing them to transmit signals over a distance. This discovery has significant implications for understanding cell communication and developing new treatments for diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

Sociable receptors: In pairs, in groups or in a crowd

Researchers found that Eph receptors must form groups of three or four to become active, with the ratio of multimers to inactive dimers determining repulsion strength. This understanding can guide cell migration and growth, shedding light on diseases related to guidance system breakdowns.
