Endosomal pH drives stemness in glioblastoma A group of researchers has shown that endosomal pH drives stemness in glioblastoma. The group discovered that endosomal Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 9 is a novel driver of stem cell-like characteristics -- or stemness -- in glioblastoma by stabilizing multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, according to a recent paper published in PNAS Nexus.Read More
Cardiac cell protein may be key to preventing heart failure A protein that controls calcium signaling within heart cells could help prevent chronic heart failure, according to the results of a new study published in Nature Communications on July 28. The findings point to the protein as a therapeutic target for drugs that could alleviate heart failure.Read More
