Embedded bias: How medical records sow discrimination

David Confer, a bicyclist and an audio technician, told his doctor he "used to be Ph.D. level" during a 2019 appointment in Washington, D.C. Confer, then 50, was speaking figuratively: He was experiencing brain fog — a symptom of his liver problems. But did his doctor take him seriously? Now, after his death, Confer's partner, Cate Cohen, doesn't think so.

A fast and powerful method for the production of SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles in insect cells

Researchers presented the direct plasmid transfection method for SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particle production in insect cells and applied the VLPs to evaluate the efficacy of monoclonal antibodies and vaccinated donor sera.

A good night's sleep promotes immunity

In a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, researchers in the United States used mice models to understand how sleep fragmentation affects immunological responses and the epigenetic modifications of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). They also conducted a sleep restriction trial in humans to determine HPSC programming and hematopoiesis.

Viruses exploit ability to sense the environment to maximize their infective yield

New UMBC-led research in Frontiers in Microbiology suggests that viruses are using information from their environment to "decide" when to sit tight inside their hosts and when to multiply and burst out, killing the host cell. The work has implications for antiviral drug development.

Novel PTP1B inhibitor drug candidate can prevent lethal lung inflammation in mice

Neutrophils, the most abundant type of white blood cell, are the body's first line of defense against infection. Foreign pathogens can stress the body and activate neutrophils.

Asexuals form connections that may be similar to non-asexuals' romantic relationships

Many asexual individuals, those with little to no sexual attraction, are in long-term satisfying romantic relationships, but there has been little study on how and why they last and thrive.

DNA nets effectively target the spike protein and detect COVID-19 virus at very low levels

Tiny nets woven from DNA strands can ensnare the spike protein of the virus that causes COVID-19, lighting up the virus for a fast-yet-sensitive diagnostic test – and also impeding the virus from infecting cells, opening a new possible route to antiviral treatment, according to a new study.

Coral genome reveals an alternative pathway for cysteine biosynthesis

Model animals, such as mice and fruit flies, have provided scientists with powerful insights into how cellular biology works. However, model animals are really just a guide, and it can be risky to generalize findings across animals from studying a selection of model organisms.

Studies explore how differences in skin composition may lead to dermatological conditions

Why are certain body parts more prone to skin diseases than others? Two new UC Davis Health studies explored how differences in skin composition may lead to dermatological conditions, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
