Scientists discover new receptor for nerve growth factor–a promising target for treating pain

Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal

Reprogrammed fat cells support tumor growth

Mutations of the tumor suppressor p53 not only have a growth-promoting effect on the cancer cells themselves, but also influence the cells in the tumor’s microenvironment. Scientists at the German
