Scientists had noticed that HPV was often present in cervical cancer. But was it merely present, or did it drive the growth of cancer? Munger was able to show th

In collaboration with Professor Shinse Yamaga and Professor Chisa Shukuminami of the Department of Biomolecular Functions, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Hiroshima University, and Professor Kenta Sumiyama of the Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University, Assistant Professor Hitomi Watanabe, Professor Gen Kondo of the Institute of Medical Biology, Kyoto University, and others, they identified an enhancer (*2) that controls the expression of the transcription factor Scx (*1), which is essential for the maturation of tendons and ligaments, and clarified its role. Our research group first analyzed the activity of candidate genomic regions using lacZ Tg mouse (*3) embryos and revealed that a 5.3kb genomic region that includes part of the mouse Scx gene and its downstream region has enhancer activity. Furthermore, we found that the evolutionarily highly conserved region (CSE) contained in this 5.3kb region also has enhancer activity. Next, when we created and analyzed mice lacking CSE using genome editing technology, we found that Scx expression was significantly reduced during the limb formation process. Also, usually

Adelaide researchers are challenging decades-old assumptions about brain cancer treatment in a bid to make radiation therapy more effective against tumours, while reducing damage to healthy tissue.
The center was established in 2021 as a developmental center in partnership with UTHealth Houston, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute.

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are sugar-containing membrane lipids that help organize cell surfaces and regulate signaling, immune recognition, differentiation and neuronal function. Human cells produce several hundred GSL species through stepwise modification of their sugar groups, and this diversity begins with a single committed reaction, in which uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) ceramide
