When cancer takes a deadly turn: NUS study sheds a new light on cancer metastasis
National University of Singapore (NUS)

The ability of cancer cells to metastasise, or spread from one part of the body to another, is one of the reasons why cancer can be extremely challenging to treat. However, the process that drives metastasis is complex and not fully understood.

Gene Discovery Nets FAU Researchers U.S. Patent for Molecular Approach to Treat Addiction
Florida Atlantic University

Researchers have received a U.S. patent for a novel method to identify therapeutic agents to treat addiction. The invention, related to the fields of pharmacology, medicine, neurology and psychiatry, targets the protein MBLAC1, which the Blakely lab identified as the mammalian form of a gene the group first identified in worms as a modifier of signaling by the neurotransmitter dopamine.
