New research defines the chain of molecular events that goes awry in sepsis

Sepsis is a medical condition that few patients have heard of and most doctors dread. The body's response to attack by bacteria can trigger a cascade of cellular self-destruction that inadvertently causes blood clots, multi-organ failure, and death.

Inhibition of ribosome biogenesis as new treatment strategy for advanced cancers

Nearly ninety per cent of all cancer patient deaths are due to metastasis. A study from Uppsala University shows that a process that allows the cells to metastasize is aided by the synthesis of new ribosomes, the cell components in which proteins are produced.
