New York sewer rats are easily infected by SARS-CoV-2, according to new study

Researchers evaluated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exposure among rats inhabiting New York City (NYC) during the fall of 2021.

Fungi detected in 35 cancer types, often intracellular

In a recent article published in the journal Cell, researchers found fungal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and cells at low abundances across many human cancers, with cancer type-dependent variations in fungus community composition and fungal-bacteriome interactions.

New MRI machine reveals tiny changes in the brain related to transient global amnesia

Over three hundred Norwegians experience temporary memory loss each year, but the cause has until now been difficult to discern with brain scans.

Ultrapotent IgM antibodies isolated from a pregnant woman with Zika virus show promise as an immunotherapy

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a potentially teratogenic illness, causing up to one in seven infants born to infected mothers to suffer neurodevelopmental deficits. A new study published in the journal Cell shows that some mothers escape injury to their babies because they develop a highly potent neutralizing antibody.

Plant-based monoclonal antibody increases potency of antibody cocktail against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

A novel mAb against the SARS-CoV-2 RBD through a hybridoma technique, followed by chimerization and expression in plants.

Discovery could lead to new mantle cell lymphoma drugs

A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.
