The new human genetic disease "egg death" has been discovered and named
Time of Update: 2020-12-25
according to , the researchers took 15 years, in four independent families, found that cell-connected protein family members PANX1 there are different mutations, and through cell levels, claw eggs, mouse models and other angles to reveal the pathogenic mechanism: mutations by affecting protein glycosylation, activation channels, acceleration of ATP release, ideotype appearance, thus proving that egg death is a brand-new Mendel genetic disease and glycosylation disease, is also the first abnormal ion disease of PANX family members.

Scientists have confirmed that cancer cells can "remotely disarm" the immune system
Time of Update: 2020-12-25
U.S. researchers have confirmed that some cancer cells can release a secret weapon to destroy lymph nodes to prevent attacks by the body's immune cells, in order to achieve the effect of "bottom pumping." This explains why most cancers are insensitive to existing immunotherapy, providing ideas for developing new treatments and even cancer vaccines.
