CSIC demonstrates that human cells ‘vibrate’, which could be used to detect diseases
Living cells exhibit mechanical resonances, a phenomenon previously considered improbable due to the extraordinary viscosity and complexity of cells in physiological environments.
The CSIC research team has shown that living cells, specifically human mammary epithelial cells, exhibit mechanical resonances, a phenomenon previously considered improbable due to the extreme viscosity and complexity of cells in physiological environments. This can serve to detect diseases such as cancer. … + read more
Kidins220 protein, key to neural stem cell survival and neurogenesis
Kidins220 is a protein that regulates several molecular pathways and its expression is altered in various neurodegenerative diseases. + read more
A mechanism has been described that provides a reserve of stem cells for the generation of neurons in adulthood.
The study results indicate implications for future treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. + read more
Mutations in tumor cells are often associated with DNA-RNA hybrids.
Researchers from the US, CABIMER and IRB Barcelona demonstrate for the first time that these hybrids are a clear source of mutations associated with cancer. + read more
Chromosomal instability in cancer cells damages DNA and promotes invasiveness
Revealed how DNA damage caused by chromosomal instability increases the invasiveness of cancer cells. + read more
