Study indicates that the major determinants of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenicity reside outside of the spike protein

Researchers at Boston University made a chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 encoding the spike glycoprotein gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate.

Individualized treatment for back pain leads to increased effect compared to standard therapies

If a therapy for chronic back pain is tailored specifically to a patient's individual requirements, the chances of success are far greater than with standard forms of treatment.

SARS-CoV-2-encoded protein ameliorates neuromuscular degeneration in fly models of neurodegenerative diseases

Researchers explored the in vivo efficacy of SARS-CoV-2-encoded proteins against neuromuscular degeneration associated with ribosome stalling.

Study proposes a method for soothing and promoting sleep in crying infants

Most parents have experienced frustration when their infants cry excessively and refuse to sleep. Scientists have found that the best strategy to calm them down is by holding and walking with them for five minutes. This evidence-based soothing strategy is presented in a paper published September 13 in the journal Current Biology.

Multi-legged walking can be much simpler than previously thought

The physics of walking for multi-legged animals and robots is simpler than previously thought. That is the finding described by a team of roboticists, physicists and biologists in the Sept. 5 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, in a paper titled "Walking is like slithering: a unifying, data-driven view of locomotion."

Study sheds new light on the nature of balance deficits in neurocognitive disorders

Balance is important to maintain in many aspects of life, but the most important may be your body's sense of balance—also known as vestibular sense—which keeps you upright when moving or standing.

Mouse embryoids offer a promising model system to spur research into embryonic development and disease

Scientists funded in part by the National Institutes of Health have generated a mouse embryo model, or embryoid, that develops beyond neurulation—formation of the neural tube, which gives rise to the central nervous system—and closely mirrors natural mouse embryos 8.5 days after fertilization.

Susceptibility of deer mice and California mice to COVID-19

In a new study, researchers assessed the susceptibility of deer mice and California mice to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.

Scientists perform first completely robot-supported microsurgical operations on humans

It is a great success for robotic microsurgery not only in Münster but worldwide – both for medicine and for science: a team led by scientists Dr. Maximilian Kückelhaus and Prof. Tobias Hirsch from the Centre for Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Münster has carried out the first completely robot-supported microsurgical operations on humans.
