New method enables the structural analysis of RNA molecules

We live in a world made and run by RNA, the equally important sibling of the genetic molecule DNA. In fact, evolutionary biologists hypothesize that RNA existed and self-replicated even before the appearance of DNA and the proteins encoded by it.

Epigenetic abnormalities in hematopoietic cells during fetal development cause idiopathic autism

An international research group led by Professor Toru Takumi (Senior Visiting Scientist, RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research) and Researcher Chia-wen Lin at Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine has shown that idiopathic autism is caused by epigenetic abnormalities in hematopoietic cells during fetal development, which results in immune dysregulation in the brain and gut.

Uncovering a new molecule that shows potential as antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning

Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas made when fossil fuels burn incompletely. It's also a silent killer.

Artificial circular RNAs found to bypass cellular antiviral responses

Researchers produced artificial circular ribonucleic acid sponges in a permuted intron-exon system and showed that these did not activate innate immunity.

UrFU researchers propose the use of polyoxometallate nanoclusters as chemotherapy drug carrier

Researchers at Ural Federal University have proposed the use of polyoxometallate nanoclusters as a carrier for chemotherapy drug. It will help to deliver medications precisely to the focus of a pathological process, such as a cancerous tumor, without toxic effects on healthy cells.

New insights into how NANOG protein facilitates the activation of human cell pluripotency

There are cells in the body known as pluripotent stem cells that are yet to specialize in a particular biological function.

Review aims to deepen the understanding of the role of natural killer cells in COVID-19

In a recent study published in Biomedicines, researchers explored the utility of natural killer (NK) cells in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Researchers demonstrate the efficiency of T-cell immune response against the Omicron variant

Scholars from HSE University and the RAS Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry have demonstrated the efficiency of T-cell immune response against the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.

Combination therapy shows promise for treating triple-negative breast cancer

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have identified a combination therapy for treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that results in durable tumor regression in an animal model of the condition.

Penn scientists discover how one inflammatory disorder increases susceptibility to another

The immune system remembers. Often this memory, primed by past encounters with threats like bacteria or viruses, is an asset. But when that memory is sparked by internal drivers, like chronic inflammation, it can prove detrimental, perpetuating a misguided immune response.

“Keto” molecule could someday become a part of colorectal cancer care and prevention

A molecule produced in the liver in response to low-carb "ketogenic" diets has a powerful effect in suppressing colorectal tumor growth and may be useful as a preventive and treatment of such cancers, according to a new study from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
