MYC proteins form hollow spheres that shield the genome of cancer cells

MYC genes and their proteins play a central role in the emergence and development of almost all cancers. They drive the uncontrolled growth and altered metabolism of tumour cells. And they help tumours hide from the immune system.

The stability of SARS-CoV-2 variants in aerosols and on high density polyethylene

Researchers showed that some SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern exhibit greater surface and aerosol stability than the ancestral strain.

New York sewer rats are easily infected by SARS-CoV-2, according to new study

Researchers evaluated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exposure among rats inhabiting New York City (NYC) during the fall of 2021.

Study shows no undetected monkeypox virus transmission before May 2022 in Rotterdam and Amsterdam

Researchers investigated whether undetected human monkeypox virus transmission occurred before Rotterdam and Amsterdam's first documented monkeypox cases.

Fungi detected in 35 cancer types, often intracellular

In a recent article published in the journal Cell, researchers found fungal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and cells at low abundances across many human cancers, with cancer type-dependent variations in fungus community composition and fungal-bacteriome interactions.

Study provides insight into the natural course of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy

A UT Southwestern study of more than 1,300 pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 found that just 1 in 10 developed moderate, severe, or critical illness and that COVID-19 symptoms and severity were similar across all trimesters.
