Salk researchers treated mice with anti-aging regimen beginning in middle age and found no increase in cancer or other health problems later on. Age may be just a number, but it’s a number that often carries unwanted side effects, from brittle bones and weaker muscles to increased risks of cardiovascular […]

Researchers at Osaka University show that intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles from bone-making osteoblasts is a key factor for the switch from bone formation to resorption through a microRNA-mediated mechanism. Osteoblasts act in a group to make bone over the course of several months. However, how osteoblasts cooperate with each […]

Researchers from Osaka University find a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a cancer-specific surface antigen in a ubiquitous protein with exciting therapeutic potential. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a largely incurable cancer of plasma cells with an extremely poor prognosis. However, investigators from Japan have recently found that a common component of […]
