Novel platform allowing universal off-the-shelf T and NK cell access shows potential for immunotherapies

Recent advances in immunotherapy for cancer have stimulated a plethora of studies aimed at developing T cells (white blood cells) and Natural Killer (NK) cells (immune cells with enzymes that can kill tumor cells or cells infected with a virus) in-vitro from pluripotent stem cells-;cells that are able to self-renew by dividing and developing into the three primary groups of cells that make up a human body.

How does COVID-19 and its treatment affect testicular function?

Researchers summarized available information related to the reproductive effects of COVID-19 in men.

Study reveals why viral infections are less frequent but more severe in individuals with Down syndrome

Individuals with Down syndrome have less-frequent viral infections, but when present, these infections lead to more severe disease.

Small antiviral molecules termed assembly modulators show therapeutic efficacy against cancer

In a new study, researchers evaluated the anti-cancer therapeutic efficacy of two structurally-unrelated small molecules, PAV-617 and PAV-951.

Live imaging and cellular barcoding reveal how new stem cells are vetted for quality

Using live imaging and cellular barcoding, researchers in the Stem Cell Program at Boston Children's Hospital have glimpsed how new stem cells -; in this case, blood stem cells -; are vetted for quality soon after they're born.

Viruses exploit ability to sense the environment to maximize their infective yield

New UMBC-led research in Frontiers in Microbiology suggests that viruses are using information from their environment to "decide" when to sit tight inside their hosts and when to multiply and burst out, killing the host cell. The work has implications for antiviral drug development.

UVA's new discovery could help ramp up production of blood-clotting platelets

A new discovery from the University of Virginia School of Medicine could let doctors ramp up production of blood-clotting platelets on demand, a timely finding following the Red Cross' declaration earlier this year of a national blood "crisis."

New genetic discovery improves understanding of congenital heart disease

A new study led by the Masonic Medical Research Institute published in the journal Cells shows for the first time that a particular gene, called VGLL4, is required for embryo development but is dispensable for myocardial growth.

Study identifies genetic variation linked with posterior urethral valves in males

Genetic variation affecting developmental genes not previously linked to urethral development may contribute to a congenital condition that is the most common cause of kidney failure in young males, a study published today in eLife suggests.

Researchers receive $1.2 million Keck Foundation grant to find molecules for targeting the 'undruggable proteome'

The W.M. Keck Foundation has awarded a $1.2 million grant to medicinal chemistry and computational biology researchers at the University of Kansas and the University of Chicago focused on addressing a long-unresolved problem in biomedical research -; finding molecules able to target the "undruggable proteome."

Do pre-existing antibodies alter the development of memory B cells in response to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in humans?

Researchers explored how passive administration of monoclonal antibodies impact the development of immunological memory in response to COVID-19 vaccination.

MIT researchers develop an easy-to-use test to predict Covid-19 immunity

Most people in the United States have some degree of immune protection against Covid-19, either from vaccination, infection, or a combination of the two. But, just how much protection does any individual person have?

Experiments and mathematical modeling help study the role of morphogens in tissue patterning

Morphogens are molecules that travel from biological cell to cell to pattern tissues in the embryo. These molecules are important not only for the embryo during development, but also for the adult during tissue repair.

Study finds asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection induced comparable memory B cell responses to mild symptomatic infection in young adults

Researchers identified that among healthy young adults, the development of SARS-CoV-2 triggered memory B cell and antibody reactions were equivalent following mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic infections.
