Adult zebrafish radial glia quiescence is controlled by at least four mechanisms: Notch3, BMP-Id1, Nr2f1b and Midkine-a. We propose these act as partially redundant inputs, biased along the anter...

Researchers led by Assistant Professor Lynn Yap of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have uncovered new insights into how unspecialized cells, also known as stem cells, develop and mature into heart muscle cells.

Exciting breakthroughs in Alzheimer's research are unfolding at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where scientists have made a remarkable discovery regarding a protein known as midkine. This prot

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have demonstrated for the first time that the protein midkine plays a preventative role in Alzheimer’s disease. Midkine is known to accumulate in Al...

Catena et al. report that melanoma-secreted midkine impairs differentiation and function of dendritic cells, limiting antitumor immunity and response to immune checkpoint blockade.

Summary: St. Jude researchers revealed that midkine blocks amyloid beta from forming harmful clumps linked to Alzheimer’s. Without it, the damaging assemblies accelerate, but with it, growth halts. The finding could inspire new drugs that harness midkine’s protective power.
