Gabapentin treatment may enhance recovery of movement after a stroke

The drug gabapentin, currently prescribed to control seizures and reduce nerve pain, may enhance recovery of movement after a stroke by helping neurons on the undamaged side of the brain take up the signaling work of lost cells, new research in mice suggests.

Study suggests that recall of B cell memory may depend on relative locations of prime and boost immunization

A new study investigated whether a specific population of local Bmem cells in the proximal LNs produce secondary GC responses that are different from those at distal sites and if the location in humoral immunity is relevant only to nonlymphoid tissues.

Study reveals how ZBP1 could lead to a cytokine storm during COVID-19

Scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have shown that the innate immune sensor, ZBP1, and its associated inflammatory cell death pathway, PANoptosis, are major contributors to the negative effects of interferon treatment and high interferon levels in some COVID-19 patients.

New training scheme for convolutional neural networks automates cell segmentation and counting

The use of machine learning to perform blood cell counts for diagnosis of disease instead of expensive and often less accurate cell analyzer machines has nevertheless been very labor-intensive as it takes an enormous amount of manual annotation work by humans in the training of the machine learning model.
