Understanding age-related changes in T cells and vaccine response

As flu season approaches and public health officials roll out their annual push for vaccination, Allen Institute scientists are learning why vaccines can trigger a weaker response in older adults, around age 65, and what can be done to improve them.

New biofilm discovery may pave way to undermining antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas

The bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an unwelcome visitor in the human body. Serious infections can result when a bunch of these bugs settle together on a surface to form a biofilm - a community of microbes like the slime on spoiled food, but in this case residing inside a person.

Hypoxia weakens the body's infection defense by changing genetic material of neutrophils

Low oxygen levels in the blood can alter the genetic makeup of key immune cells, weakening the body's ability to fight infection, new research shows.

A new technique to tag senescent cells

When it comes to treating disease, one promising avenue is addressing the presence of senescent cells. These cells - also known as "zombie cells" - stop dividing but don't die off as cells typically do.

Bio-Rad’s iQ-Check Enterobacteriaceae Kit validated for detection of Enterobacteriaceae in infant formula and cereals

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., a global leader in life science research and clinical diagnostics products, today announced that MicroVal, the international certification organization for the validation and approval of alternative methods for the microbiological analysis of food and beverages, has approved iQ-Check™ Enterobacteriaceae Kit for the real-time PCR detection of Enterobacteriaceae (EB) in infant formula, infant cereal with and without probiotics, and related ingredients.

Study forces a textbook rewrite on cell division

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in fact plays a completely different role in chromosome movement.

HCS-3DX platform enables large-scale, high-precision screening of cellular models

The HCS-3DX platform performs automated analysis of three-dimensional cell cultures, known as spheroids.

Researchers develop a novel approach to monitor CD8⁺ T cell activity over time

The ability of immune cells-particularly CD8+ T cells-to launch a rapid burst of proliferation inside tumors is key to the success of modern day cancer immunotherapies.

Researchers engineer a tool to dismantle cancer's RNA-built growth hubs

In a city, coworking hubs bring people and ideas together. Inside cancer cells, similar hubs form-but instead of fueling progress, they supercharge disease. That's what researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) have discovered inside the cells of a rare and aggressive kidney cancer.

CRATERs identified as key sites for T cell-mediated tumor destruction

Like the surface of the moon, new research published today in Cell finds the existence of craters on the surface of melanoma cells that serve as immune hubs, becoming major sites for tumor killing. These craters could serve as good markers for immunotherapy success.
