Developing a cell atlas for the human brain

Researchers are developing a cell atlas - a comprehensive reference of all cell types, including their location, shape, and distribution - for the human brain.

Scientists create an atlas of liver infection caused by Plasmodium parasites

Malaria is a devastating disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. After an infected mosquitos' bite, the parasites travel to the liver and infect liver cells.

Immunological responses against monkeypox virus concerning the 2022 outbreak

A new study aimed to analyze the kinetics of the pox-specific T-cell induction, the inflammatory profile, and the inflammatory profile in human cases of the current monkeypox outbreak.

Can prostaglandin E2 injection improve hair growth?

A new study demonstrated that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulates hair follicle growth.

Researchers propose a deep antibody-antigen interaction algorithm to accelerate the identification of potential therapeutic antibodies

Researchers used a deep antibody-antigen interaction (DeepAAI) algorithm to understand the antibody representations of unseen antibodies to accelerate the discovery of novel antibodies with potential therapeutic applications.

What is the role of adenoviruses in human health?

With advances in molecular biology informing recent developments in vaccinology, gene therapy, and other fields of medicine, human adenoviruses (HAdVs) have been of primary importance in medical research. A recent review looks at the promises of HAdVs, their potential dangers, and future challenges.

Highly processed and refined foods contribute to rising obesity rates in the Western world

A year-long study of the dietary habits of 9,341 Australians has backed growing evidence that highly processed and refined foods are the leading contributor of rising obesity rates in the Western world.

Nutritional interventions targeting key oxidative process can improve motivation

In life, motivation can be the difference between success and failure, goal-setting and aimlessness, well-being and unhappiness.

Researchers use lasso-grafting for designing receptor agonists with enhanced pharmacokinetics

Cell growth and repair are stimulated by biomolecules known as cytokines and growth factors. Unfortunately, delivering adequate concentrations of these molecules to the brain for treating neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease is challenging as they are either cleared out of the blood very quickly or do not penetrate neural tissue effectively.

Study helps understand the basis of sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Significant immunological differences between young men and women were shown to mediate sex differences in the responses to the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a collaborative study of nearly 3,000 young, healthy members of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Female resilience to cell death could be therapeutically harnessed to improve kidney repair

In the battle of the sexes, women beat men in their ability to recover from kidney injury, but the reasons are not well understood.

Higher dose of pneumococcal vaccine improves antibody response in patients receiving rituximab for ANCA-associated vasculitis

New research presented this week at ACR Convergence 2022, the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting, showed that a higher dose of pneumococcal vaccine safely and effectively improved antibody response in patients receiving rituximab for ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Scientists determine 5,072 essential human genes

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers examined the phenotypic landscape of multiple elusive essential human genes to create a detailed genotype-phenotype resource outlining the phenotypic consequences of disrupting fundamental cellular processes.

Researchers identify 55 broadly reactive monoclonal antibodies to betacoronaviruses

In a recent study published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe, researchers pursued novel approaches that could help find monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) broadly targeting coronaviruses (CoVs), especially genera beta CoVs.

Cell competition could be responsible for cancer relapses, study shows

A normal process called cell competition, in which healthy tissues eliminate unhealthy cells, could be responsible for cancer relapses in patients months or years after they were declared cancer-free, a new study by UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center researchers suggests.

New breakthrough could help spot lung cancer earlier and improve patient outcomes

Scientists investigating the mechanics of the early stages of lung cancer have identified a new potential treatment, which could also aid early detection of the disease.

8 Nov 2022

New urine tests for early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease

Early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is key to managing progression of the disease. A new technique analyzing urine extracellular vesicles (uEVs) - cell-derived nanoscale spherical structures involved in multiple biological functions - in urine samples identifies changes in the kidneys earlier than conventional methods and can also predict renal function decline.
