Apelin, the Devil Inside Brain Tumors
Glioblastoma multiforme are mortifying brain tumors that contain a subpopulation of tumor cells with stem-like properties, termed as glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). These GSCs constitute an autonomous reservoir of aberrant cells able to initiate, maintain, and repopulate the tumor mass. A new therapeutic strategy would consist of targeting the GSC population. The GSCs are situated in periv...
متن کاملTelomerase: The Devil Inside
High telomerase activity is detected in nearly all human cancers but most human cells are devoid of telomerase activity. There is well-documented evidence that reactivation of telomerase occurs during cellular transformation. In humans, tumors can rely in reactivation of telomerase or originate in a telomerase positive stem/progenitor cell, or rely in alternative lengthening of telomeres, a tel...

Maxed-out consumers have been heeding the advice to take scissors to their credit cards, since paying with cash controls the eventual cost of a purchase (carrying a credit-card balance can double an item's original price) and limits impulse b...
متن کاملLooking Inside the Disordered Brain
For decades, research on human psychopathology has focused on understanding specific mental disorders, based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a rigid classification system that assumes each disorder is distinct and relatively homogenous. Research has demonstrated, however, that many disorders share common etiological factors, including those of a biological nature, ...
متن کاملInside a rat’s brain
Toxicology Unit, UK, is a runner-up in this year's Current Biology photomicrography competition. It shows the normal relationship between Purkinje's neurons (red) and glial cells (green) in the rat cerebellum. Connections between the glial cells and the cell bodies, axons and dendrites of the Perkinje cells show that these interact closely. Two morphologically different types of green glial cel...
