Two newly identified protein forms may play a role in Alzheimer's

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and their collaborators have identified two previously unknown forms of the protein amyloid-beta that may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's. The study, published in Nature Communications, also shows that a protein previously discovered by the researchers can counteract the formation of these harmful forms, suggesting a potential new treatment approach.

Alternative pathways for blood vessel growth could become targets against drug-resistant tumors

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), together with international collaborators, have uncovered previously unknown mechanisms that allow blood vessels to grow even in the absence of VEGF–VEGFR2 signaling, one of the best-known and most widely targeted pathways in clinical efforts to block tumor angiogenesis, growth and metastasis.

Newly discovered pathway fuels production of cancer-driving proteins

A previously unknown mechanism helps cancer cells selectively produce proteins that drive tumor growth—such as KRAS—in common cancers, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The findings reveal that targeting a specific enzyme may improve responses to targeted therapies and help overcome treatment resistance.
