Turning a cellular sentinel into a cancer killer

...reactivating p53 would still have to cope with the adaptability of cancers. "For any therapies based on these findings, you would have to imagine that sooner or later, resistance would develop," said Lowe. "And I think the challenge—which is true for any therapy where you can get resistance—is to come up with com...

Carnegie Mellon University research shows how sensory-deprived brain compensates

...indings are the first to show this degree of brain adaptability in a setting with significantly limited sensory input," said Alison Barth, assistant professor of biological sciences and a member of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC). "This finding tells us that brain function is plastic, or repar...

US control strategies may make flu epidemics worse, UCLA study shows

...mbers, there is no individual decision-making, and adaptability is decreased. While other models have determined what proportion of the population would need to be vaccinated in order to prevent a pandemic, none of these models have shown whether this critical coverage can actually be reached. What has been m...
