Synergistic Combination of Bioengineered MicroRNA and Chemotherapy Across High-Risk Neuroblastoma Subtypes

Despite intensive treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in children. Current treatment paradigms include multimodal systemic treatments and multi-agent chemotherapy, which is limited by substantial acute and long-term toxicities. Platinum-based chemotherapy is a cornerstone of this treatment but is fraught with side effects and stands to…

Proteomics Maps Eye-Infecting Acanthamoeba Mitochondria Across Oxygen Levels

A new catalog of 1,122 mitochondrial proteins reveals how Acanthamoeba adapts to oxygen loss—and may highlight possible targets for treating sight-threatening infections.

  • Acanthamoeba mitochondria adapt to low oxygen by producing hydrogen gas
  • Researchers map 1,122 proteins, 381 unique to Acanthamoeba
  • Study in Cell improves understanding of amoeba's metabolic flexibility
