As stem cell lines grow in a lab dish, they often acquire mutations in the TP53 (p53) gene, an important tumor suppressor responsible for controlling cell growth. New research findings suggest that genetic sequencing technologies should be used to screen for mutated cells in stem cell cultures, so that cultures with mutated cells can be excluded from experiments and therapies.

A mutant, see-through variety of zebra fish may be the key to understanding how to treat breast cancer in humans, new research with the fish shows. Derek Walsh, who oversees the zebra fish facility at the Boston University Medical Campus, says there are 15,000 to 20,000 fish swimming in the tanks there.

In today's world of the internet of things, it is becoming easier to collect data on every purchase made by individuals and companies. That ability to track the actions of consumers and commercial business has not escaped the notice of law enforcement and regulatory authorities. For example, at some future point, it could be that regulators would want to access data held by clinical laboratories on the test-ordering patterns of their client physicians.

Researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a first-of-its-kind nanoparticle vaccine immunotherapy that targets several different cancer types.
The nanovaccine consists of tumor antigens — tumor proteins that can be recognized by the immune system — inside a synthetic polymer nanoparticle. Nanoparticle vaccines deliver minuscule particulates that stimulate the immune system to mount an immune response.

At-risk patients, such as those with HIV or transplant recipients, could benefit from potentially life-saving study carried out by a University of Surrey-led group of international researchers.
The research has developed a model that will provide vital insight into how best to help patients with cytomegalovirus infection, particularly those who have undergone organ transplantation.

Still handwriting on tape to identify your vials? Not cool. Printing your own customized barcode labels containing all of your data that scan into your LIMS with 100% accuracy? Very cool. Those same labels staying put on vials put in cryogenic storage? Even cooler.

Unstable chromosomes within lung cancer tumors increase the risk that the cancer will return after surgery, researchers report.
The investigators said they used this new information to forecast the return of lung cancer long before standard tests could spot it.
The findings were published April 26 in the New England Journal of Medicine and Nature.

Using human skin cells, University of California, Irvine neurobiologists and their colleagues have created a method to generate one of the principle cell types of the brain called microglia, which play a key role in preserving the function of neural networks and responding to injury and disease.
The finding marks an important step in the use of induced pluripotent stem cells for targeted approaches to better understand and potentially treat neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Antimicrobial resistance is a major societal problem as there are resistant bacteria to any antibiotic available, and they spread across countries and continents. For this, a novel antibacterial medicine with a low potential of resistance development is urgently needed. Researchers from Spain, The Netherlands and the U.K. have joined efforts to identify bacterial histidine kinase inhibitors that can be further developed as novel antibacterial medicines.
