Alternative remedy to conventional root canals would regenerate lost tooth pulp

Each year, dentists in the United States perform more than 15 million root canals on infected teeth, removing the inflamed pulp and filling the emptied canal with inert materials such as rubber and cement. What remains is a mineral shell in place of a living tooth.

Artificial intelligence-based computational program predicts the 3D structure of rotavirus spike protein

Of the three groups of rotavirus that cause gastroenteritis in people, called groups A, B and C, groups A and C affect mostly children and are the best characterized.

Research reveals how highly proliferative leukemia cells turn into normal harmless ones

A new research describes how highly proliferative leukemia cells end up becoming normal cells that no longer multiply, by changing the chemical modifications -the so-called epigenetics- of a type of its genetic material: the messenger RNA.

Researchers create first comprehensive functional map of genes expressed in human cells

The Human Genome Project was an ambitious initiative to sequence every piece of human DNA. The project drew together collaborators from research institutions around the world, including Whitehead Institute, and was finally completed in 2003.

USA–Japan Workshop participants present cutting-edge research on biomarkers for early detection of cancer

Successful treatment of cancer frequently depends on early detection. However, many cancers are detected late, often after metastasizing to other sites.

Researchers demonstrate the double advantage of killer T-cells used in cancer immunotherapy

To grow, tumors rely on a specific structure, the tumor stroma. This includes blood vessels, which provide the nutrients necessary for the multiplication of diseased cells, and of lymphatic vessels, through which they migrate to metastasize.
