Metabolic reprogramming is a major cancer hallmark characterized by the upregulation of a number of pathways providing tumor cells with vital energy and metabolites. Metabolic plasticity allows cancer cells to adapt to changing conditions of the tumor microenvironment, enabling rapid growth, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to anti-cancer therapies.

Robotics kits can be found in many classrooms across the country, giving kids an introduction to engineering and coding. However, fun and hands-on biology experiment kits are harder to come by.

Clinical-stage drug discovery and development company, Oncoceutics Inc., has announced that after an interim analysis, investigators have decided to expand enrollment in a Phase 2 trial for adult recurrent glioblastoma.

Due to an increase in the abuse of synthetic insulins, doping laboratories require faster and more consistent testing options. The methodology to detect and confirm the presence of peptide hormones by mass spectrometry is preferred to the current use of immunoassays or other immuno-reactive techniques. This white paper explores and compares the different available methods, revealing the fastest and most accurate options for synthetic insulin detection.

The first authorization for genetic risk tests for disease was issued to 23andMe, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday.

Metabolic measurement of humans and animal models is an important aspect of biomedicine. However, the limitations of current methods in metabolic measurement are not widely understood. This mini-review explains the methodological trade-offs involved in metabolic measurement with flow-through respirometry and specifically addresses limitations regarding temporal resolution and accuracy of metabolic measurement systems with practical solutions.

Waking up often in the middle of the night? It could be because of your genes. Researchers have identified a gene that is necessary, from fruit flies to humans, for a good night's sleep.

Overall death rates from cancer continued to decrease between 2010 and 2014, according to the Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, however racial and ethnic disparities persist and progress was limited for several specific cancers.

Researchers from Northwestern University have taken a huge leap toward personalized medicine with the development of a revolutionary model of the female reproductive system that can more accurately test drugs and help scientists better understand diseases of the female reproductive tract, including cancer.

An international consortium, led by Queensland University of Technology researchers, has sequenced the genome of the 'resurrection plant' Xerophyta viscosa in hopes of understanding how the plant can tolerate a severe dry environment for long periods of time.

Cognitive biologists proved with a new test procedure that dogs are not only able to identify whether a human has an eye on a food source and, therefore, knows where the food has been hidden, they can also apply this knowledge in order to correctly interpret cues by humans and find food they cannot see themselves.
