MicroRNAs and RNA Editing: Roles in Cancer Initiation and Progression
A study on the mechanisms and effects of RNA and microRNA editing on the initiation and progression of cancer.
Biomanufacturing in Zero-G
Science fact catches up with science fiction: by exploiting magnetic levitation, biomanufacturing – creating living 3D structures – is now possible in zero gravity. Utkan Demirci discusses how this works.
Bone Repair: A Breaking Story
Researchers in Barcelona have proposed a new mechanism for bone repair. They hope that the work might pave the way for advances in self-healing prostheses.
Cold-Inducible RNA Binding Protein in Cancer and Inflammation
Cold-inducible RNA binding protein (CIRP) in human cancers is reviewed, where it has been implicated in tumor suppression and promotion.
Structural Insights of Glycogen Metabolism in Exercise and Health
An integrative approach of modeling and hydrogen-deuterium exchange helps to describe the enzyme that regulates glycogen levels in muscles and liver.
