How Lab-Grown Mini-Tumors Help Understand and Overcome Resistance to Cancer Treatments Cancerous tumors constantly evolve and develop mechanisms to resist treatments, making therapies less effective over time. An innovative approach now combines mini-tumors grown in the lab from patient cells with advanced molecular analyses. These mini-tumors, called organoids, faithfully reproduce the characteristics of an individual’s… Continue reading How Lab-Grown Mini-Tumors Help Understand and Overcome Resistance to Cancer Treatments
How Ancient Viral Elements Influence the Risk of Preeclampsia During Pregnancy
How Ancient Viral Elements Influence the Risk of Preeclampsia During Pregnancy Genetic elements derived from ancient viruses integrated into our DNA play a key role in the development of the placenta and may explain certain risks of preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication specific to humans. A recent study reveals how two of these elements, called… Continue reading How Ancient Viral Elements Influence the Risk of Preeclampsia During Pregnancy
Can Neural Stem Cells Slow Retinal Degeneration and Preserve Vision?
Can Neural Stem Cells Slow Retinal Degeneration and Preserve Vision? The progressive degeneration of the retina, responsible for hereditary diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, leads to irreversible vision loss by destroying photoreceptors and pigment epithelial cells. Despite advances in gene therapy targeting specific mutations, the genetic diversity of these conditions necessitates the development of universal… Continue reading Can Neural Stem Cells Slow Retinal Degeneration and Preserve Vision?
