Researchers identify key gene necessary for cells to consume and destroy viruses

A team led by UT Southwestern researchers has identified a key gene necessary for cells to consume and destroy viruses. The findings, reported online today in Nature, could lead to ways to manipulate this process to improve the immune system's ability to combat viral infections, such as those fueling the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

4E-BP proteins are key to unlock the antidepressant effect of ketamine in the brain

A group of proteins called 4E-BPs, involved in memory formation, is the key to unlocking the antidepressant effect of ketamine in the brain, according to researchers from three Canadian universities. The discovery could lead to better and safer treatments for certain patients suffering from major depression.

People with ADHD tendencies are more sensitive to insomnia, severe functional impairments

Individuals with high ADHD-traits that do not meet the criteria for a diagnosis are less able to perform tasks involving attentional regulation or emotional control after a sleepless night than individuals with low ADHD-traits, a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging reports.

Fluorescence guidance can enable surgeons to assess cancer tissues in real-time

A clinical research study published in the British Journal of Surgery shows that fluorescence guidance (where a fluorescent chemical compound re-emits light with a long wavelength) can enable a colorectal surgeon to assess cancer tissues visually and with more specificity in real-time during surgery, by utilising near-infrared (NIR) light from an administered fluorophore in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI) methods.
