Researchers discover how Type I interferon stops the immune system 'going rogue' during viral infections

McMaster University researchers have found not only how some viral infections cause severe tissue damage, but also how to reduce that damage.

Researchers demonstrate link between high-fat diet, nitric oxide levels and cancer development

It has long been hypothesized that dietary habits can precede and even exacerbate the development of cancer.

Tabula sapiens, most comprehensive human cell atlas

In a recent study published in the journal Science, researchers created an atlas termed the Tabula sapiens for over 400 distinct cell types of humans. Several aspects of human physiology were revealed by the atlas, such as how different types of cells splice genes differently.

Novel Type 1 diabetes treatment involves pancreatic islet transplant without the need for immunosuppression

In a new study, a team of researchers from the University of Missouri, Georgia Tech and Harvard University has demonstrated the successful use of a novel Type 1 diabetes treatment in a large animal model.

Study shows how co-transplanting islet cells with SA-FasL-microgels reverses diabetic symptoms

Islet cell transplants are a promising treatment that can cure difficult-to-treat type 1 diabetes. The cells, taken from a donor pancreas, provide patients with a sustainable and tightly controlled source of insulin.

Study reveals serum proteomic signatures of long COVID patients

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv*preprint server, researchers evaluated the serum proteomic signatures of long coronavirus disease (COVID) patients.

Nanobodies from llamas could be used to deliver targeted medicines to human muscle cells

In "proof of concept" experiments with mouse and human cells and tissues, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have designed tiny proteins, called nanobodies, derived from llama antibodies, that could potentially be used to deliver targeted medicines to human muscle cells.

Research may lead to more effective interventions for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

One of the most common causes of disability or death in newborns is a lack of oxygen or blood flow in the brain during labor or delivery.

The promise of RNA medicine is targeted and personalized

The development of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has only increased the impetus in this field.

Clemson researchers discover a promising therapy for people suffering from toxoplasmosis

Many doctors caution their pregnant patients to avoid cat feces; even the family pet's litter box is off-limits. Now, a group of researchers from Clemson University have discovered a promising therapy for those who suffer from toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by the microscopic protozoa Toxoplasma gondii.

Researchers find gene that shapes mutation rate in mice

Every organism is born with a few mutations in their genome that differ genetically from both of their parents.

Deep learning reveals genetic determinants of COVID-19-associated mortality

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers applied deep learning methods and identified genetic variants linked to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-caused mortality.

Fluorescence-based sensing could be a useful tool for monitoring lactate levels in living organisms

Lactate is generated in the body as a byproduct, during normal metabolism and exercise. While considered a useless waste product for a long time, recent studies have shown that lactate can be an indicator for cancer and various other diseases.

Complimentary tests to quantify cognitive changes in dogs could aid humans with Alzheimer's disease

Researchers have found that a suite of complimentary tests can quantify changes in dogs suspected of suffering from cognitive decline.

Scientists identify the role of phospholipid in maintaining epithelial cellular adhesion

Cells have certain proteins that help them adhere to each other while covering body surfaces and organs. Loss of these identifying proteins could result in cellular progression towards cancer and, subsequently, metastasis.

Mitosis in moss plants could be far more similar to animal cell division than previously thought

For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times. Daughter cells can each take on different tasks and sometimes vary in size. How plants determine the plane of cell division in this process, known as mitosis, is being researched by Prof. Dr. Ralf Reski and Dr. Elena Kozgunova from the University of Freiburg in a joint effort with Prof. Dr. Gohta Goshima from Nagoya University.
