How nucleolar stress accelerates aging in mice

Drug Target Review

Our approach to investigate the toxicity driven by nucleolar stress was to induce it with certain arginine-rich peptides, present in patients of ALS, which were known to accumulate at nucleoli and cause this type of stress. However, our study was first to show that inducing nucleolar stress in an adult mammal accelerates aging.

A research team searches for every gene that helps tumors evade immunotherapy

Broad Institute

By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. His mother had a presentation of the disease that suggested her immune system was already on the job.

Cell and gene therapy development moves into cardiac indications

Drug Target Review

For example, integrating gene therapies that alter the DNA of cardiac cells pose risks of unintended genetic modifications, which could lead to tumorigenesis. Still, the high cost of CGTs, driven by their complexity and individualised nature, presents barriers to widespread adoption in cardiology, limiting patient access.
