Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.a.) are resistant to most antibiotics and cause life-threatening infections of wounds or the lungs. The P.a. bacteria species has an entire arsenal of strategies for evading the immune system and infecting tissue. Researchers working with Prof. Dr. Winfried Romer and Dr. Carsten Schwan of the University of Freiburg and the Excellence Cluster CIBSS -- Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies -- have identified a previously unknown, natural, defense mechanism that protects cells from Pseudomonas infection. The study has been published in Cell Reports.
Study revealed a unique mechanism that promotes cancer cell spread, as well as providing a foundation for future research that may eventually lead to the discovery of possible new targets to combat cancer metastasis.
Washington [US], October 16 (ANI): Cancer cells use an unusual mechanism to migrate into new tissue and form metastases there. The same process probably also keeps some immune cells on their toes.
Washington [US], October 15 (ANI): Cancer cells use an unusual mechanism to migrate into new tissue and form metastases there. The same process probably also keeps some immune cells on their toes. According to the study, certain structures, the centrioles, increase in number. This makes it easier for them to maintain their direction and thus migrate more quickly to the lymph nodes, where they activate other immune cells.
Washington [US], June 21 (ANI): A team of scientists has gained new insights into the human centrosome, whose malfunction is linked to many neurodevelopmental disorders.
