Mevalonate pathway inhibition reduces bladder cancer metastasis by modulating RhoB protein stability and integrin β1 localization
Activating the mevalonate (MVA) pathway increases bladder cancer (BLCA) spread. High MVA enzyme levels predict worse outcomes. Drugs like zoledronic acid or simvastatin blocking this pathway reduce cancer cell migration by affecting the protein RhoB. Targeting the MVA pathway could help treat BLCA.
VEXAS Syndrome: Hope, Challenges, Solutions, and the Road Ahead
This post aims to raise awareness, build understanding, and inspire action within the medical and patient communities alike. The road is long, but with continued collaboration and innovation, we can offer new hope to those affected by VEXAS syndrome.
Looking for the origin of one of the largest Mediterranean tsunamigenic earthquakes : Amorgos, July 9th, 1956, Greece.
In the past few years, marine geologists have new eyes to capture seafloor in detail! Different types of deep-sea vehicles can now map the sea bed, at resolutions never reached before, and in particular with new imaging techniques. And this is the starting point of the story behind our paper.
Towards industry-ready additive manufacturing: AI-enabled closed-loop control for 3D melt electrowriting
The study “Towards industry-ready additive manufacturing: AI-enabled closed-loop control for 3D melt electrowetting” was published in Communications Engineering. It shows that machine learning can automate MEW operations and create an effective closed-loop control system.
