Researchers at National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei have developed a new stem cell-based treatment modality, which may prevent damage to the growth phase of hair follicles due to cancer therapies. The findings may lead to the first effective treatment for preventing hair loss in cancer patients.
A study showing that an inhibitor of WNT signaling had differential effects on the lung and bone metastasis of breast cancer could have important implications for treating breast cancer, Chinese researchers reported in the Sept. 11, 2017, online edition of Nature Cell Biology.
An international research team led by Australia's Walter and Elizabeth Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) has shown for the first time that carbohydrates on the surface of malaria parasites play a key role in infecting their mosquito and human hosts, which may lead to the development of improved new vaccines.

Japanese researchers have identified a potent novel enhancer of neural stem cells (NSCs) and, hence, neurogenesis, with its prenatal administration having been shown to normalize both brain structure and function in mouse models of Down syndrome.
