How cells balance their protein levels

EPFL researchers have discovered how cells help keep their protein levels steady even when their ability to make new proteins changes. The finding could shed light on how our bodies stay resilient when nutrients and other resources rise and fall.

Using precisely #engineered structures assembled from nano-size materials to deliver potent tumor-fighting medicine to the #brain through #nasal drops. The novel delivery method is less invasive than similar treatments in development and was shown in mice to effectively treat #glioblastoma by boosting the brain’s immune response.

Just like your body needs a bath now and then, so too does your #brain – but instead of a tub filled with hot water, your brain has #cerebrospinal fluid, which flows around inside the brain and helps clear away waste products, misplaced blood cells, and other sometimes-toxic debris.
