In the new study, the scientists expressed surprise that the early abnormal growth of brain cells they observed in the fish embryo specifically affected male hormones, potentially indicating why more boys than girls are diagnosed with certain neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

The researchers have now provided further evidence for this new theory by showing that the abnormal protein coded for this genetic disorder can be transmitted to normal animals by the injection of diseased cells into their brain.

The mouse models of autism on a normal lab diet (with a medium glycemic index) are already known to generate fewer new neurons, and some of their existing cells and neuronal connections are abnormal compared with those of normal mice.

The new study revealed that pancreatic cancer cells not only send signals that make macrophages produce abnormal amounts of dectin - 1 surface receptors, but also that make tumor cells themselves express high levels of galectin - 9.

«The findings provide new insight into how cells faithfully transmit this organizational information as embryos develop, and into what goes wrong when cellular development goes awry, thereby giving rise to abnormal cell development and diseases such as cancer,» says senior study investigator Danny Reinberg, PhD, professor of biochemistry and molecular pharmacology at NYU Langone and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.

The advancement could one day lead to a new generation of medical sensors that are able to identify abnormal cells.

Now, results of a new study by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists suggests a powerful role for the protein in normal breast cells, acting as a tumor suppressor that halts abnormal cell growth.

The new study demonstrates how a wide range of mutations can be corrected in human cells by eliminating abnormal splice sites in the genomic DNA.

The new research found that on top of their known effects on cancer, Hsp90 inhibition also blocked production of abnormal forms of the androgen receptor, stripping cancer cells of their defences against hormone treatments.

The cancer therapy, described today in two papers in Science Translational Medicine and The New England Journal of Medicine, is based on the idea that the human body is already primed to fight abnormal, dangerous cells.

A new biomarker could help identify abnormal breast cells that will develop into tumours, according to research published in Clinical Cncer Research.

Using a new mouse model, we propose to test whether the spread of tangles through the brain is a result of abnormal tau overwhelming the cell's ability to clear it and whether we can boost cell defenses against tangles using clinically approved drugs that have not been used for this purpose previously.

Our ambition is to interlink complementary biological and computational expertise so as to drive the generation of new knowledge on the characteristics of normal and abnormal stem cells.

Abnormal cells in the early embryo are not necessarily a sign that a baby will be born with a birth defect such as Down's syndrome, suggests new research carried out in mice at the University of Cambridge.

These abnormal cells — in the case of pulmonary hypertension, those that line the blood vessels leading to the lungs — release signals that stimulate the growth of small new blood vessels to feed the renegade cells, allowing further proliferation, and thickening of the vessel walls.

IHEC aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive epigenomic analysis of healthy and abnormal cells, and the new studies constitute major strides toward that goal.
