Investigating the links between the rate of new cases, mutations, and selection in SARS-CoV2 virus

How many times in the last 18 months have you seen a map that looks like the one above? It looks like a population density map, but in fact, it is a case total for the COVID19 rates from Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center (collected on 24 May 2022).

Common molecular tool for DNA labelling shows unexpected anticancer properties

Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine have made the surprising discovery that a molecule called EdU, which is commonly used in laboratory experiments to label DNA, is in fact recognized by human cells as DNA damage, triggering a runaway process of DNA repair that is eventually fatal to affected cells, including cancer cells.

Researchers harness plasma-produced gas to activate plant immunity against wide-spread diseases

The flash of lightning and the dance of auroras contain a fourth state of matter known as plasma, which researchers have harnessed to produce a gas that may activate plant immunity against wide-spread diseases.

Single dose of aged mouse blood in young mice causes senescence

Scientists performed heterochronic blood exchange in male mice and observe that aged mouse blood triggered cell and tissue senescence in younger mice.

Mathematical model describes the simultaneous transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and multidrug-resistant bacteria

Researchers developed an epidemiological model to simulate the co-circulation of SARS-CoV-2 and multidrug-resistant bacteria in healthcare facilities during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eating grapes may reduce the risk of fatty liver disease

In a recent study published in the journal Foods, eating grapes can extend life expectancy by five years and reduce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease risk in mice fed high-fat diets.

UH professor seeks to tackle the homelessness epidemic, repair a fragmented aid industry

While volunteering at an Indian orphanage in 1984, Dr. David Buck found his passion for helping those most in need during an encounter with the greatest humanitarian in human history – Mother Teresa.

New anti-cancer drug candidate is absorbed through the lymphatic system rather than blood vessels

A team of University of Michigan researchers is developing a new anti-cancer drug that is absorbed through the gut's lymphatic system rather than blood vessels, potentially outmaneuvering the molecular signaling pathways that lead to drug resistance while increasing cancer-fighting ability and reducing side effects.

Discovery explains how impaired metabolism triggers neuroendocrine tumors in the adrenal glands

Researchers have deciphered a signaling cascade through which inborn errors in metabolism provoke deadly neuroendocrine tumors in the adrenal glands.

The eyes of mutant zebrafish help understand the role of a protein in preventing cell death

Around 15 years ago, a group of researchers discovered mutant zebrafish. The eyes of these zebrafish did not develop correctly, resulting in them being significantly smaller than the eyes of wild zebrafish.

Researchers identify immune expression signature in surgical specimens linked to disease progression for non-CPR patients

Researchers from Spain have identified an immune expression signature in surgical specimens associated with disease progression for non-complete pathological responders patients treated with neo adjuvant chemo-immunotherapy, which could help the follow-up and therapeutic management of these high-risk patients.
