How will mutations change the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the future?

A new Cells review discusses the factors that affect the function of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein and provides theoretical limits of this viral protein.

Researchers unravel how parent's gene impact the behavior of children

Parenting is not the only way moms and dads impact the behavior of their offspring. Genes matter, too. And although most of our genes are inherited in pairs - one copy from each parent - moms and dads exert their genetic influence in different ways.

UH researchers receive grant for developing new imaging technique to peer into ribosomes

Two University of Houston researchers are developing a type of spectroscopy to help understand how ribosomes make proteins deep within cells, the discovery of which could potentially guide drug design to treat cancers and viral infections.

Researchers come one step closer to reversing the destructive aging process in egg cells

Throughout much of the world, increasing numbers of women are delaying having their first child until they are in their late thirties, and even into their forties.

Higher SARS-CoV-2 load in morning-collected samples

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers identified that morning-collected nasal and saliva samples yielded better detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), especially in tests with low to moderate analytical sensitivity.

Researchers investigate a predictive tool for the progression of rheumatoid arthritis

Predicting the future may be beyond our grasp, but what about predicting disease progression? Researchers in Japan have delved into the human genome to investigate a predictive tool for the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an inflammatory autoimmune disease showing progressive joint damage.

GlyNAC supplementation can increase lifespan and improve multiple age-associated defects

Many people aspire to live longer, healthier lives. A researcher at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Rajagopal Sekhar, associate professor of medicine in the section of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, has been studying aging for the past 20 years to better understand its biological underpinnings and develop nutritional strategies to promote healthy aging.

Researchers examine how structural violence can set the stage for poorer leukemia outcomes

Black and Hispanic people with acute myeloid leukemia in greater Chicago were more likely to die from the disease than their non-Hispanic white counterparts, with a 59% and 25% greater risk, respectively, according to a new study led by University of Illinois Chicago researchers.

Study finds how genetic baggage can accumulate in the genomes of normal and mutant animals

You are probably familiar with the term that some people carry "a lot of extra baggage." Usually that term refers to that person's emotional history, but in genetics and our genomes, "extra baggage" can also describe the transposons lurking in our genomes, a historical record of our genomes surviving traumatic invasions during evolution.
