Towards controlling cell-state switching of neural crest differentiation states in melanoma evolution

Melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, exhibits remarkable adaptability, enabling metastasis, therapy resistance, and immune evasion. Central to this adaptability is the ability of melanoma cells to transition between distinct functional states, a process rooted in mechanisms of cell fate choice. Read more

How can we use transcranial ultrasound brain stimulation to restore cellular function in Alzheimer’s disease?

A key feature of Alzheimer’s disease – the leading form of dementia - is diminished neural activity in various brain regions, including those important for memory function such as the hippocampus (Herholz et al., 2007; O’Brien et al., 2010). Read more
