An interdisciplinary team of three Virginia Tech faculty members affiliated with the Macromolecules Innovation Institute has created a drug delivery system that could radically expand cancer treatment options.
The conventional cancer treatment method of injecting nanoparticle drugs into the bloodstream results in low efficacy. Due to the complexities of the human body, very few of those nanoparticles actually reach the cancer site, and once there, there's limited delivery across the cancer tissue.

Combining historical lessons with modern genetic technologies, scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to control and suppress populations of insects, potentially including those that ravage agricultural crops and transmit deadly diseases.
Using the CRISPR gene editing tool, Nikolay Kandul, Omar Akbari, and their colleagues at UC San Diego and UC Berkeley devised a method of altering key genes that control insect sex determination and fertility.

Scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine report (Hyper-Editing of Cell-Cycle Regulatory and Tumor Suppressor RNA Promotes Malignant Progenitor Propagation) in Cancer Cell that detection of copy editing by stem cell enzyme ADAR1, which is active in more than 20 tumor types, may provide a kind of molecular radar for early detection of malignancies and represent a new therapeutic target for preventing cancer cell resistance to chemotherapy and radiation.

T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling triggers selective cytokine expression to drive T cell proliferation and differentiation required for immune defense and surveillance. The nuclear signaling events responsible for specificity in cytokine gene expression upon T cell activation are largely unknown. Here, researchers uncover formation of a dynamic actin filament network in the nucleus that regulates cytokine expression for effector functions of CD4+ T lymphocytes.

Biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids can fold into complex shapes with well-defined architectures. A team led by Sijbren Otto of the University of Groningen, in collaboration with Ennio Zangrando of the University of Trieste and Piotr J. Chmielewski of the University of Wrocław, has now identified a small molecule that folds in a similar way to a protein, spontaneously assembling into a macrocycle called a foldamer.

Alzheimer's disease is caused by aggregates of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides. This aggregation is accelerated at the cell membrane surface. Using molecular dynamics simulations and NMR experiments, the research group at ExCELLS has revealed the reason for this phenomenon. The findings were published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry B.
Many proteins aggregate at higher concentrations and form spherical substances called oligomers and acicular substances called amyloid fibrils.

A recent study from the Laxman lab elucidates how a small metabolite and amino acid, methionine, acts as a growth signal for cells, by setting into motion a metabolic program for cell proliferation. For cells to grow and then divide, they must be in an anabolic state, where there is sufficient production of all necessary building blocks. It was earlier thought that as long as enough nutrients are present, cells would continue to grow under the control of different internal signaling programs.

The Scientist
The majority of babies born in the U.S. undergo a hearing screening as well as a blood test to detect certain diseases that can be fatal if they go untreated, such as cystic fibrosis and phenylketonuria. Other diseases that don't have an appropriate biochemical test can go unidentified. Sequencing the genomes of newborns would be one way to determine a child's risk of developing one of these untested-for diseases, so researchers decided to try it out.
