"Cancer cells don’t quickly adapt or rewire this copper dependency, which creates a therapeutic window. By introducing a copper chelator, we can dampen the MAPK signaling that tumors rely on for growth."

The title says it all: Human cells experience a pulse of zinc in early G1 (https://t.co/noDumxxNhU). Using fluorescent reporters, long term imaging, and computational image analysis, @AnanyaRakshit4 and @samholtzen quantify free zinc in naturally cycling cells.
Pathogenic forms of the ANT1 protein lead to harmful consequences in yeast and mice by clogging the channels that allow mitochondria to import proteins. https://t.co/Be7xGEbQSh
A new Science study in Trinidadian guppies shows that females that mate with males with uncommon traits have “sexy” sons who go on to sire higher numbers of offspring per month than their counterparts.
