Single-cell sequencing and bioinformatic tools applications discussed in Research Review

Nowadays, single-cell RNA sequencing technologies and related bioinformatics tools are emerging as essential devices for dissecting tumors at single-cell resolution and understanding carcinogenesis and drug response mechanisms, representing a turning point in cancer research. The most significant outcomes have been collected and discussed in the review “Single-cell RNA sequencing and bioinformatics as tools to decipher …

Tumor Blood Vessel Growth May Be Target to Treat Glioblastoma and Other Cancers

Figure 1. TMEM230 promotes aggressive tumor behavior in a human cell line model of GBM. Down regulation of TMEM230 resulted both in fewer tumor cells and less vascularization 3D tissue models Figure 2 TMEM230 promotes vascular mimicry by inducing cancer cells to generate vessel like structures. A novel protein regulator of tumor angiogenesis, TMEM230, was …

Research Supports More Effective Choices Than Ever for Drug-Free Pain Relief During Labor and Delivery

Researchers coordinated by Professor Antonio Giordano, M.D., Ph.D., Founder and Director of the Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO) have highlighted the effectiveness of non-pharmacological analgesic techniques during childbirth in a review recently published in the journal Eukaryotic Gene Expression. “The search for alternative analgesic techniques is a promising and exciting research field,” comments the first author, …

Elucidation of Novel mechanisms regulating the tumor suppressor RBL1/p107 levels in mesothelioma and lung cancer cells

Research Alert The retinoblastoma-like (RBL)1/p107 protein is a member of the retinoblastoma (RB) family including the retinoblastoma (RB)1/p105 protein and RBL2/p130. They are key regulators of the cell cycle and play a central role in modulating cell proliferation.  RB proteins act as tumor suppressors and their dysregulation is associated with tumor initiation. However, the mechanisms …

Researchers Investigate Link between LncRNA MORT (ZNF667-AS1) and Gynecological Cancer

Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in tumorigenesis. LncRNAs can beclassified into tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes, depending on their function within the cellular context and the signalling pathways in which they are involved. These regulatory RNAs are potential therapeutic targets for cancer due to their tissue and tumor specificity. The lncRNA Mortal Obligate …
