Princeton team disables long-targeted gene behind spread of major cancers. The mysterious ways cancer spreads through the body, a process known as metastasis, is what can make it such a difficult enemy to keep at bay.
Researchers at Princeton University working in this area have been tugging at a particular thread for more than 15 years, focusing on a single gene central to the ability of most major cancers to metastasize. They've now discovered what they describe as a "silver bullet" in the form of a compound that can disable this gene in mice and human tissue, with clinical trials possibly not too far away. Metastatic cancer is a key focus for researchers and with good reason, as it is actually the primary cause of death from the disease. While surgery or chemotherapy might be effective at eliminating an initial tumor, cells that have broken away can discreetly make their way around the body and give rise to new tumors, months or even years later. We Might Not Know Half of What’s in Our Cells, New AI Technique Reveals. Summary: New artificial intelligence technology reveals previously unknown cell components.
The findings may shed new light on human development and diseases. Source: UCSD Most human diseases can be traced to malfunctioning parts of a cell — a tumor is able to grow because a gene wasn’t accurately translated into a particular protein or a metabolic disease arises because mitochondria aren’t firing properly, for example. But to understand what parts of a cell can go wrong in a disease, scientists first need to have a complete list of parts. By combining microscopy, biochemistry techniques and artificial intelligence, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and collaborators have taken what they think may turn out to be a significant leap forward in the understanding of human cells. The technique, known as Multi-Scale Integrated Cell (MuSIC), is described November 24, 2021 in Nature. How to practice gratitude regularly.

Gratitude’s benefits Research shows that grateful people tend to be healthy and happy. They exhibit lower levels of stress and depression, cope better with adversity and sleep better.

New maps show parts of Vancouver and Montreal underwater as climate change worsens. Low-lying areas of major cities like Vancouver and Montreal could become inundated with floods in the next 80 years under various climate change scenarios, suggests a floodplains map developed by a Western University researcher. The maps, created by engineering professor Slobodan Simonovic, are a visual distillation of almost 150,000 reference documents – including current and historical rainfall and snow-melt runoff data, topographic analyses, urbanization factors that impede effective drainage and a range of climate projections. Simonovic superimposed the data on web-based maps to show potential future flood inundation — how much of an area is covered by water — as well as how often and how significant floods could be.

Zuckerberg's Foundation Kills 'Meta' Science Company on Day of Facebook Rebrand. Thursday marked a new chapter in Facebook's ongoing attempt to deal with the fallout from recent revelations about its inadequate content moderation role in sparking a mental health crises, decisions to prioritize engagement over safety, facilitation of genocide, and more: it changed its name to Meta Platforms, Inc—”Meta” for short. The name change comes after a horde of internal Facebook documents leaked by former product manager Frances Haugen spawned waves of negative coverage and a Congressional hearing. During the presentation where CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the name change, he referenced the controversy surrounding Haugen’s whistleblowing several times. As it turns out, changing Facebook’s brand to Meta required sunsetting an identically-named academic software company that was acquired by the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, the philanthropic organization that Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan founded in 2015.

Fuji Oozx Inc. is one of hundreds of automotive-parts suppliers in Japan whose very existence is being threatened by the world’s shift toward electric vehicles. For almost 70 years, the company has been making intake valves — an essential component of any gasoline car that controls the flow of gas in and out of an engine’s cylinder.
Typically made of copper, they’re light and highly heat resistant and use a decades-old technology that’s not needed in any electric car. “We have to start looking for a new business,” President Satoshi Tsujimoto, 63, said from his office adjacent to Fuji Oozx’s factory in Shizuoka Prefecture, an elongated region that traces the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Fuji Oozx supplies automakers including Toyota Motor Corp. and Nissan Motor Co. Valves for boat engines are one option but the Tokyo-listed company’s board is also looking further afield, like branching into medical devices. Management consulting firm Arthur D.
