According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 5.8 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer s disease, which is the most common form of dementia. There is no cure for Alzheimer s, in part because scientists do not yet have a full understanding of what causes the disease. But a new study from Scripps Research is shedding light on the molecular drivers that could contribute to Alzheimer s progression.
Super-Enhancer Accelerates Pancreatic Tumor Growth miragenews.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from miragenews.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Salk scientists identified new set of molecules that drive the growth of human pancreatic cancer cell lines, explaining how genetic mutations can activate genetic "super-enhancers" that promote out-of-control pancreatic cancer growth. They show the efficacy of an experimental drug that targets a super-enhancer related protein, demonstrating the promise of therapeutics that block the effects of super-enhancers.
