A Chinese study has established a previously unknown direct mechanistic link between elevated mechanical tension caused by impaired alveolar regeneration and progressive idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), highlighting a pathogenic mechanism that may underlie fibrosis.

Targeting prostate cancer (PCa) neuroendocrine (NE) cells via inhibition of the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) is an androgen receptor (AR)-independent therapeutic strategy that can improve the efficacy of treatment for PCa, a leading cause of male cancer mortality.

A new web-based tool allowing rapid in silico prediction of the ability of candidate antibiotics to accumulate in Gram-negative bacteria should enable subsequent prioritization of new compounds for synthesis and further evaluation, U.S. researchers reported Nov. 18, 2019, in Nature Microbiology.
Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Science (IMS) and Keio University School of Medicine (KUSM) in Japan have discovered that people ages 110 or longer, the so-called supercentenarians, have elevated blood levels of CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).
A subtype of schizophrenia is related to abnormally high brain levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which has important implications for the development of new treatments, according to a study by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan.

A Chinese study has identified small-molecule compounds that can selectively reduce levels of the mutant Huntingtin (HTT) protein involved in the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD), and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases involving mutant protein accumulation.
