Study reveals TBX20 as a vital regulator of direct human cardiac reprogramming

Mammalian hearts have almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. Thus, dead tissue after an adult heart attack is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes.

Exploring SARS-CoV-2-associated endothelial dysfunction

A new study described the evidence, mechanisms, and therapies for endothelial dysfunction in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Multiomics analysis identifies immunobiomarkers for COVID-19 severity in outpatients

In a recent study published in the journal eLife, researchers showed the utility of machine-learning models in identifying early immune signatures, which could reliably predict clinical and immunological outcomes in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected outpatients.

Impaired SARS-CoV-2 neutralization after booster vaccination in the elderly

A recent study investigates poorer vaccine responses observed in the elderly following receipt of a COVID-19 booster vaccination dose.

Study reveals how a cell signaling molecule can help oral cancer cells acquire high motility

The process of metastasis is when cancer cells gain motility and spread to other sites of the body. Because this is one of the main causes of cancer-related deaths, researchers have aimed to develop therapeutic strategies that can block metastasis.

Study finds memory B cell clones harbor the capacity to adopt multiple and functionally different fates in COVID-19 patients

Researchers examined single clones of SARS-CoV-2-specific memory B cells to understand their adaptability and fate.

13 Oct 2022

What is the association between interferon genes and complement regulatory protein expressions in SARS-CoV-2 infections?

Researchers investigated the expression of complement regulatory proteins (CRPs) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to identify potential dysregulated CRP patterns and investigate whether they contribute to COVID-19 pathogenesis.

13 Oct 2022

The immunometabolic regulatory mechanisms for the pathogenesis of COVID-19

A new study aimed to analyze the immunometalobism BALF cells from mild to severe COVID-19 patients using computational algorithms that quantified metabolic fluxes and metabolic pathways.

13 Oct 2022

Histone mimicry by SARS-CoV-2 protein disrupts epigenetic regulation of host cells

Researchers demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 protein functions as a histone mimic to disrupt the epigenetic regulation of host cells.

7 Oct 2022

Study shows the important role of hepatocyte adenosine kinase in NAFLD progression

A study led by Texas A&M AgriLife Research provides compelling evidence of the important role of hepatocyte adenosine kinase in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD.

5 Oct 2022

Multiomic comparison shows a reduction in circulating monocytes correlated with persistent post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis

In a new study, researchers identified distinguishing immune features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with late-resolving pulmonary fibrosis (LR COVID-PF) and early-resolving (ER COVID-PF).

Pluripotent bat stem cells as a model to study novel viruses

Researchers generate induced pluripotent stem cells from bats using to establish bats as a novel in vivo model study species.

Researchers propose guidelines and methods for consistently generating high-quality brain organoids

By using stem cells to grow miniature brain-like organs in the lab, scientists have opened a new avenue for studies of neurological development, disease and therapies that can't be conducted in living people.

UAB study finds distinct kidney resident macrophage subpopulations located in spatially discrete microenvironments

Macrophages are immune cells that engulf and digest pathogens, cancer cells or cellular debris. The kidneys - like other tissues in the body - contain kidney resident macrophages, or KRMs, from the time of birth.

Changes in temperature may be behind the link between circadian disruption and cancer

Disruptions in circadian rhythm - the ways that our bodies change in response to the 24-hour light and dark cycle - have been linked to many different diseases, including cancer.

28 Sep 2022

Rational treatment strategies for SARS-CoV-2 derived from human pluripotent stem cells models

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers in Australia explored the molecular mechanisms of the pulmonary and cardiac complications caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection using human stem-cell-derived cardiac and lung cells.

27 Sep 2022

Study looks at boosting with variant-derived COVID vaccine

In a recent study posted to bioRxiv*, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, demonstrated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine booster elicits robust germinal center (GC) B cell responses.

26 Sep 2022

What is the association between body fat and COVID-19?

Researchers recently assessed the association between adipose tissues and COVID-19 by evaluating autopsy cases and profiling adipose tissue responses to SARS-CoV-2 infections.

UCLA scientists receive $10 million to shed light on the developing brain's cellular infrastructure

Two scientists at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have been awarded nearly $10 million from the National Institutes of Health's Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative for research projects that aim to shed light on the developing brain's cellular infrastructure to better understand brain disorders.

22 Sep 2022

Study explores the effect of age-associated B cells on COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunity

In a new study, a team of researchers explored the effect of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)-induced expansion of age-associated B cells (ABCs) on COVID-19 vaccine-derived humoral immunity in patients with cancer and inborn errors of immunity (IEI).
