Pioneering discovery leads to potential preventive treatment for sudden cardiac death

Posted: 05 Feb 2016 02:30 PM PST

Roughly 15 years ago, a team of researchers discovered the precise malfunction of a specific protein in the heart that leads to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a common culprit in cases of sudden death in young athletes. A team of scientists have now used some of these findings to develop a possible treatment to prevent this inherited disease that can cause the heart to thicken and stop pumping blood effectively, leading to heart failure.

Chromosomes reconfigure as cell division ends

Posted: 05 Feb 2016 11:45 AM PST

Cells reach a state called senescence when they stop dividing in response to DNA damage. This change can matter greatly to health, but scientists do not yet have a clear picture of how this change impacts the genome. A new study shows that a cell's chromosomes become physically reconfigured at senescence, leading to significant differences in what genes are expressed.

Single-lesion biopsy may be insufficient to choose therapy targeting resistance mutations

Posted: 05 Feb 2016 10:50 AM PST

When metastatic tumors driven by drug-targetable genetic mutations become resistant to a targeted therapy drug, the usual practice is to test a single metastatic lesion for new mutations that can guide the selection of next-line therapies. But this strategy may miss additional targetable mutations that arise in different metastases, a new study finds.

The significance of non-motor microtubule-associated protein in maintaining synaptic plasticity thorough a novel mechanism

Posted: 05 Feb 2016 08:05 AM PST

Super-resolution microscope allows visualization of the mechanism that maintains cell polarity: The key is to repeatedly establish temporary polarity

Posted: 05 Feb 2016 08:05 AM PST

Cells are not uniform spheres; they generally come in a variety of disparate shapes. In the broadest sense, this variation in shapes is known as cell polarity, and it is an essential property for a variety of cell functions. Growth in accordance with their polarity allows cells to shape themselves in forms appropriate to their function. It has been found that the establishment and maintenance of polarity is governed by the interdependent relationship between the polarity marker protein on the plasma membrane (cell membrane), actin, the microtubule cytoskeleton, and membrane vesicle transport. The polarity marker determines the polarity site, and with membrane vesicle transport toward it, site-specific growth (polarity growth) is achieved. However, when the plasma membrane elongates due to fusion of membrane vesicles, there have been questions about how polarity markers are maintained without being scattered over the elongated plasma membrane.
