The @NIAgeing has approved a nearly $24 million grant to fund @BU_Tweets' Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center for the next five years.

“The center is really the nucleus for all Alzheimer’s and neurodegenerative disease research across BU,” says Director Dr. Ann McKee: https://t.co/scn5ZXWy8J

[Dana-Farber News @DanaFarberNews]

New research published in @JExpMed from @DanaFarber’s @JunQiLab and collaborators reveals that AKT inhibitors synergize with EP300 degraders to suppress osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo. These agents positively combine across cancer cells in a manner dependent on control of protein synthesis.

Before the parasite Toxoplasma gondii can invade a cell, it has to know it has reached the right place.

💥 New research from the Lourido lab at the @WhiteheadInst reveals that the parasite has its own invasion machinery to enter the cell: https://t.co/awfB4WNm0U
