Spheroid architecture strongly enhances miR-221/222 expression and promotes oxidative phosphorylation in an ovarian cancer cell line through a mechanism that includes restriction of miR-9 expression
Tumor cell spheroids are organized multicellular structures that form during the expansive growth of carcinoma cells. Spheroids formation is thought to contribute to metastasis by supporting growth and surviva...

Zika virus induces astrocyte differentiation in neural stem cells
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a rapidly emerging flavivirus that has been associated with a number of congenital neurological manifestations. Here, we show that ZIKV replicated efficiently in mouse neural stem cells (m...
