Time-resolved single-cell analysis of Brca1 associated breast cancer

8 April 2021

Time-resolved single-cell analysis of Brca1 associated mammary tumourigenesis reveals aberrant differentiation of luminal progenitors The work recently published in Nat. Commun. offers an explanation as to why the breast is particularly susceptible to tumour development in women with pathologic variants of BRCA1 and...

Splitting to differentiate

2 November 2020

Abscission couples cell division to embryonic stem cell fate In the early embryo, cells change fate from a pluripotent state where they have the potential to become any cell type, towards more and more specialised cell types. One such fate transition is exit from naive pluripotency, when cells become receptive to...

Higher surface tension of red blood cells protects against severe malaria

1 October 2020

Red blood cell tension protects against severe malaria in the Dantu blood group Scientists from the University of Cambridge, the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme, Kenya have uncovered the mechanism behind the increased protection of Dantu blood type against malaria. The findings now...
