Orally administered insulin tablet powered by chemical micromotors

For the millions of people living with diabetes, insulin is a life-saving drug. Unlike many other medicines, though, insulin cannot be easily delivered by swallowing a pill - it needs to be injected under the skin with a syringe or pump.

Hair follicle transplants can rejuvenate scars, study finds

In a new study involving three volunteers, skin scars began to behave more like uninjured skin after they were treated with hair follicle transplants.

Vitamin D can help the immune system fight tuberculosis, study says

Most people probably associate tuberculosis with a leaky loft in 20th-century Paris. But as a matter of fact, tuberculosis is not ancient history.

Study details the “immunometabolic editing” mechanism of tumor evolution

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has discovered that the immune system's surveillance of cancer can itself induce metabolic adaptations in the cells of early-stage tumors that simultaneously promote their growth and equip them to suppress lethal immune responses.

Comparison of genetic codes reveals how humans and other mammals lost their hair

Orangutans, mice, and horses are covered with it, but humans aren't. Why we have significantly less body hair than most other mammals has long remained a mystery.

Evolutionary advantage of jumping genes in a fungus discovered

A fungus that infects salamanders contains multiple copies of the same "jumping genes", scientists have discovered.

Study assesses microbiome of male genital mucosa

A new study in the journal Microorganisms aimed to identify and analyze studies on the composition of the microbial community on different parts of the healthy and diseased male genital mucosa.

Research shows re-formation of synaptic connectivity in dissociated retinal organoids

Retinal cells grown from stem cells can reach out and connect with neighbors, according to a new study, completing a "handshake" that may show the cells are ready for trials in humans with degenerative eye disorders.

Old antibiotic nitroxoline suggested as a treatment for MPOX

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* server, researchers in Germany investigated the effectiveness of the antibiotic nitroxoline against the currently circulating mpox viruses, previously called monkeypox virus (MPXV). This antibiotic has been used in Europe for about fifty years and has been proven effective in fighting biofilm infections.

Salk scientists show how a microprotein can increase appetite in mice

Obesity and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, are extremely common in the United States. Tiny proteins called microproteins have long been overlooked in research, but new evidence demonstrates that they have an important role in metabolism.

Researchers identify novel gene mechanism in most aggressive kidney cancers

In a new study from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, researchers described a novel mechanism of tumor formation in kidney cancers driven by overexpression of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway with loss of the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) tumor suppressor gene.

UKB resident awarded the C. E. Alken Prize for outstanding scientific uro-oncological research

Dr. Niklas Klümper, resident at the Clinic for Urology and working group leader at the Institute for Experimental Oncology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), was awarded the C. E. Alken Prize in recognition of his outstanding scientific uro-oncological work.
