Freshwater streams, ponds and lakes across the United States are becoming saltier, and new research from the University of Missouri shows the damage may be greater than scientists once thought. Scientists at Mizzou’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources found that road salt becomes much more deadly to freshwater snails when combined with the fear of natural predators in the water.
A recent study published in Science China Life Sciences demonstrates that disulfiram, a drug used to treat alcoholism, can suppress liver cancer by regulating lipid metabolism and angiogenesis. Researchers found that disulfiram upregulates the gene c-FOS by reducing its RNA methylation, which in turn inhibits key molecules involved in lipid accumulation and blood vessel formation in tumors. This discovery highlights a promising repurposing potential for disulfiram in hepatocellular carcinoma therapy.
Therapeutic targeting of the AhR-Siglec-15 axis reveals potent efficacy against SHH medulloblastoma in preclinical models.
A flow cytometry-based approach to isolate extracellular vesicles is evaluated and its impact on microRNA cargo is revealed, showing reduced molecular diversity while preserving core functional signals relevant to tissue repair and inflammation.
