A protein that moves chemicals in and out of cells also appears to be critical to the rapid progression of the deadliest, most common form of brain cancer. “If we could catch these cells before they take off into other parts of the brain, we could make malignant tumors more manageable, and improve l...

U. WARWICK (UK) — The operation of a built-in “security check” guarantees that cells divide with the correct number of chromosomes, a finding that could lead to the development of more effective cancer drugs.

U. ROCHESTER (US) — Immune cells can be protected from the most virulent form of HIV by a protein that starves the virus of materials it needs to replicate. The researchers—from the University of Rochester, New York University, and several institutions in France—hope the work will one day lead to a ...

I second this idea, it would really help us stay motivated by tracking the progress with you
