Tufts scientists discover a previously unknown function performed by astrocytes

Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine have discovered a previously unknown function performed by a type of cell that comprises nearly half of all cells in the brain.

Researchers create 3D in vitro model that reveals the origins of human spine

The spinal column is the central supporting structure of the skeleton in all vertebrates. Not only does it provide a place for muscles to attach, it also protects the spinal cord and nerve roots. Defects in its development are known to cause rare hereditary diseases.

Study shows how DNA changes in Barrett's esophagus cells may predict esophageal cancer

More and more mutations clutter up our DNA as we age. Mostly, these don't cause problems. But sometimes, a switch will flip, and a mutated cell turns cancerous. Can we see this shift in time to prevent or treat cancer before it starts?

Therapeutic promise of CAR-T cell bispecific engagers against SARS-CoV-2

A new paper describes a novel method, using a specific molecule to engage T cell receptors and the virus receptor, the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, at the same time.

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).

Exploring oncolytic viral therapeutics and immunotherapies derived from DNA and RNA

A new review initially described the developments in cancer-based medicines that included vaccinations, vector-based techniques, and genome injection using DNA and RNA-based nucleic acid therapeutics.

Researchers investigate O-glycosylation in cells infected with Ebola

Researchers from the Copenhagen Center for Glycomics have been investigating O-glycosylation in cells infected with Ebola virus in order to better understand the disease.

Identification of a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing human monoclonal antibody with a remarkable broad-spectrum neutralization and protection efficacy

Researchers identified a human monoclonal antibody (mAb), 87G7, with in vitro neutralizing activity against several SARS-CoV-2 VOCs, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron.

MAPK pathway mutations can provide “precision” treatment targets for head and neck cancer

About one-fifth of often deadly head and neck cancers harbor genetic mutations in a pathway that is key to normal cell growth, and scientists report those mutations, which enable abnormal cancer cell growth, can also make the cancer vulnerable.

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.

Discovery of novel antibody that targets shared epitope on SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers assessed the antibody responses elicited by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants and defined the epitopes shared by them.

Green tea catechin as pan-coronavirus attachment inhibitor

In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers assessed the impact of green tea catechin epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Study illuminates why cowpea mosaic virus is exceptionally effective against cancer

A plant virus that infects legumes, called cowpea mosaic virus, has a special power that you may not have known about: when injected into a tumor, it triggers the immune system to treat the cancer - even metastatic cancer - and prevents it from recurring.
