A study from the Institute for Neurosciences CSIC-UMH discovers the mechanism that avoids conflicts in the activity of brain stem cells

– This finding, published in Nature Communications, represents another step in understanding how brain stem cells work, in their capacity to produce new neurons.– Brain stem cells express both genes that maintain their identity and genes specific to the neurons they produce. “Intron detention tightly regulates the stemness/differentiation switch in the adult neurogenic niche.” Gonzalez-Iglesias […]

Cancer cell populations segregate to favor metastasis or antitumour inflammation

-Researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences CSIC-UMH describe simultaneous and opposite programmes within individual tumours.-This study opens new avenues to target highly aggressive therapy-resistant tumours. “Two distinct Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Programmes Control Invasion and Inflammation in Segregated Tumour Cell Populations.” Kass Youssef, K., Narwade, N., Arcas, A., Marquez-Galera, A., Jiménez, R., Lopez-Blau, C., Fazilaty, […]
