Pancreatic β cell-derived exosomal miR-29s manipulate glucose homeostasis
In a new study published in Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Chen-Yu Zhang's group at Nanjing University, School of Life Sciences, and Antonio Vidal-Puig's group at University of Cambridge report that pancreatic β cells secrete...
Marine microalgae could be the solution to world’s meat protein shortage
Marine microalgae-based cellular agriculture is a promising new way to sustainably produce plant-based 'meat' and healthy 'superfoods' for the future. Researchers at Flinders University's Centre for Marine Bioproducts Development (CMBD) in Australia are responding...

CRISPR-Based Cancer Cell Lineage Tracing Offers Insights into Drivers of Metastasis
A new CRISPR-based method for tracing real-time cancer progression across thousands of cells has revealed novel insights into the rates, routes, and drivers of cancer metastasis. Using the lineage-tracing technique, Whitehead Institute member Jonathan...
Hormonal Coupling Identified That Incites Inflammatory Rage and Ages the Brain
Mental maladies that accompany aging have long been considered beyond redemption. But a new Stanford study has identified prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling in immune cells as a key proinflammatory trigger that can be targeted...
SARS-CoV-2 suppresses host innate immunity
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, blocks the processes of innate immune activation that normally direct the production and/or signaling of type I interferon (IFN-I) by the infected cell and tissues. IFN-I is a...
