N-WASP helps cancer cells open up
HIV’s kinesin chauffeur G audin et al. identify a type of kinesin that ferries HIV to the plasma membrane, helping the virus escape from macrophages. HIV reproduces inside T cells, killing them in the process. But the virus can also replicate in macrophages, which survive infection and serve as reservoirs of HIV. In T lymphocytes, new viral particles are born at the plasma membrane, but in macr...
متن کاملCdc42 helps cancer cells make their exit
T o initiate a metastatic tumor in a new tissue, a cancer cell circulating in the blood must attach to the endothelial cells lining the blood vessel, squeeze between them, and then penetrate the underlying basement membrane. Reymond et al. reveal that the Rho GTPase Cdc42 drives this process—known as transendothelial migration—by promoting the expression of 1 integrin (1). Rho GTPases regulate ...
متن کاملNormal cells, but not cancer cells, survive severe Plk1 depletion.
We previously reported the phenotype of depletion of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) using RNA interference (RNAi) and showed that p53 is stabilized in Plk1-depleted cancer cells. In this study, we further analyzed the Plk1 depletion-induced phenotype in both cancer cells and primary cells. The vector-based RNAi approach was used to evaluate the role of the p53 pathway in Plk1 depletion-induced apopt...

When people are diagnosed with cancer, their brains start working overtime. What will happen in the future? Will I die? What will happen to my family? Answers t...
متن کاملGeothermal activity helps life survive glacial cycles.
Climate change has played a critical role in the evolution and structure of Earth's biodiversity. Geothermal activity, which can maintain ice-free terrain in glaciated regions, provides a tantalizing solution to the question of how diverse life can survive glaciations. No comprehensive assessment of this "geothermal glacial refugia" hypothesis has yet been undertaken, but Antarctica provides a ...
