Immune cells in the brain join together to break down toxic proteins more quickly

To break down toxic proteins more quickly, immune cells in the brain can join together to form networks when needed. This is shown by a joint study of the University of Bonn, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, and the Institut François Jacob in France.

UW research provides a basic structure of neural networks in the mammalian brain

Two University of Wyoming researchers decided to pick each other's brain, so to speak. Specifically, they examined the importance of the frontal cortex, the portion of the brain used in decision-making, expressive language and voluntary movement.

Researchers encourage longer dosing intervals for Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine

Researchers in Canada, Italy, and the United States have encouraged extending the interval time between two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine among individuals who have not previously been infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Adhesive protein facilitates cluster formation in circulating tumor cells

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with stem cell features use the adhesive protein ICAM1 to facilitate formation of CTC clusters, which can travel from primary tumors to other organs in the body, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications.

MMRI explores overlapping cardiac conditions as result of electrocution

It's not uncommon for people to live normal, healthy lives without knowledge of any underlying genetic conditions. However, all it takes is one external impact, such as a heart attack, to induce the expression of the condition.

mRNA-based and adenoviral vector-based COVID-19 vaccines elicit diverse humoral immunity

Scientists from the USA have recently compared the dynamics of humoral and cellular immune responses induced by mRNA-based and adenoviral vector-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. The findings reveal a difference in humoral immune responses. The study is currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server.

The importance of handwashing in the COVID-19 era: Back to basics

Researchers from the United States have reviewed the different components of formulated soaps and their performance as cleansers and pathogen inactivators, the criticality of the time spent hand washing, the relationships between water temperature and pathogen inactivation.

Gram-positive and -negative bacteria found to be involved in periodontal bone loss

Mouths are filthy, harboring the second largest microbiome of the human body. Some bacteria can help break down food, among other responsibilities; other bacteria can travel into the mouth on food, fingers, pen caps and more to contribute to gum disease and other oral infections.
