New Anticancer Drugs Interfere with DNA Binding Properties of EBV

The recent synthesis of small molecular drugs that interfere with the DNA binding properties of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) suggests that it may be possible to develop medications for the treatment of EBV-associated cancers. More...

Specialized Nuclear Bodies Delay and Promote Repair of DNA Damage

A molecular mechanism that helps minimize the impact of natural DNA errors, which occur during the process of cell division and replication, was identified and characterized in cultures of human cells. More...

Gene Editing Reveals Interaction between Antimicrobial Peptides and Pathogens

The genome editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 was used to delete the genes coding for inducible antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in fruit flies (Drosophila), which revealed the highly specific interaction between AMPs and pathogens in an in vivo model system. More...

Cellular Barcoding Used to Characterize Clones of Breast Tumor Cells

Cancer researchers used an advanced cellular barcoding technique to characterize cells in primary and disseminated tumors in mouse models of human triple-negative breast cancer. More...

Diet Supplemented with Blueberry Anthocyanins Reduces CVD Risk

Consumption of a diet supplemented with anthocyanins purified from blueberries for one month was shown to improve blood vessel function and decrease systolic blood pressure in a group of healthy volunteers. More...
