Mitochondria divide to share the load when nutrients are scarce — plus, how smashing atomic nuclei together helps identify their shapes. Researchers have uncovered that mitochondria divide into two distinct forms when cells are starved, a finding that could help explain how some cancers thrive in hostile conditions. Mitochondria are cellular powerhouses, creating energy…

Cancer Discovery. CNIO researchers propose a new treatment for brain metastasis based on immunotherapy They have discovered that cancer perverts a type of brain cell, astrocytes, and makes them produce a protein that works in favor of the tumor. A drug, silibinin, inhibits this protein, and could be used to help treat brain metastases…
