Collective cell movement involves cells migrating in coordination with their neighbors during biological processes such as embryonic development and wound healing. Recent discoveries reveal this coordinated movement is facilitated by the scaffolding protein ZO-1 riding waves of ERK signaling activation.

Cytokine-armored CAR-T cell therapy is a novel cancer treatment that reprograms engineered T-cells to not only target cancer but also release immune-stimulating proteins. This dual action activates the body's natural immune system to strengthen the overall anti-cancer response against aggressive brain tumors like glioblastoma.

The MYC protein, conventionally known for accelerating cancer growth, also actively repairs dangerous DNA breaks in tumor cells, allowing them to survive therapies designed to destroy them.
