Pangolins confiscated from illegal wildlife trade in Viet Nam host SARS-CoV-2 related coronaviruses

A new study in the journal Frontiers in Public Health led by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society confirms that pangolins confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade in Viet Nam host SARS-CoV-2 related coronaviruses.

Researchers develop a system of synthetic biosensors to assess the response of cancer therapy

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) inhibitors have transformed the treatment of cancer and have become the frontline therapy for a broad range of malignancies. It's because they work better than the previous standard of care.

Tumor cells’ 'ferroaddiction' can be exploited to deliver powerful anticancer drugs

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have discovered that cells carrying the most common mutation found in human cancer accumulate large amounts of ferrous iron and that this "ferroaddiction" can be exploited to specifically deliver powerful anticancer drugs without harming normal, healthy cells.

Mild SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to tissue damage and shrinkage in brain areas related to smell

Researchers from the University of Oxford have used data from UK Biobank participants to look at changes to the brain on average 4.5 months after mild SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Researchers develop new cranial window system for long-term studies of brain activity

Bilal Haider is studying how multiple areas of the brain work together for visual perception. This could help researchers understand if neural activity "traffic jams" underlie all kinds of visual impairments: from running a red light when visual attention is elsewhere, to shedding light on the autism-affected brain.

Modifying red blood cells to create a promising new vehicle for vaccine delivery

Physicists, chemists and immunologists at McMaster University have teamed up to modify red blood cells to transport viral agents which can safely trigger the immune system to protect the body against SARS-CoV-2, creating a promising new vehicle for vaccine delivery.

Study may provide insight into the evolution of D-amino acid function in marine invertebrates

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of living organisms and typically occur in a configuration known as the L-form. However, there are a few exceptional examples of the structural mirror image of the L-form (known as the D-form) being present in animals.
