Researchers reveal the mechanism of artificial chromosome formation in C. elegans' embryos

A research team led by Dr Karen Wing Yee YUEN, Associate Professor from the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), revealed the mechanism of artificial chromosome (AC) formation in the embryos of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, a 1-mm long, transparent nematode.

Two defense systems in bacteria work in a complementary manner to protect from viruses

A new study led by a team of bioscientists from Durham University, UK, in collaboration with University of Liverpool, Northumbria University and New England Biolabs, hopes to exploit newly characterized defense systems in bacteria to compare changes to the human genome.

Immune system activation is modulated according to the time of day

Circadian clocks, which regulate most of the physiological processes of living beings over a rhythm of about 24 hours, are one of the most fundamental biological mechanisms.

Researchers use game theory to understand how cells compete in tumors

Game theory applied to cell encounters inside a tumor provides a sociological perspective on the possible behaviors of cells in a collectivity, and offers a more comprehensive understanding of the complex rules that govern a neoplasm.

Factors contributing to a weak antibody response to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine

A new study discusses risk factors for the failure of seroconversion following full vaccination with the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine.

High levels of cancer-fighting immune cells could indicate a better chance of survival

Cancerous tumors are made up of many more components than just malignant cells from the tissue of origin. Immune cells can be recruited to the tumor site and form what is known as the tumor microenvironment.

Study reveals a link between neuroinflammation protein and survival outcomes in glioblastoma patients

Scientists have discovered a new link that could bring the scientific and medical community closer to understanding why glioblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor, is deadlier in males than females.

Novel combination therapy identified for the brain metastases of breast cancer

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified and preclinically validated combination treatments for the brain metastases of breast cancer, a common and typically lethal manifestation of the malignancy.

Research group uncovers novel mechanism that regulates breast cancer metastases

A research group at the University of Turku, Finland, has discovered a completely new mechanism that cells use to circulate integrins on the cell surface.

Researchers identify protein that plays a key role in how the brain regulates appetite and metabolism

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University have identified a protein that plays a key role in how the brain regulates appetite and metabolism.

Scientists pave the way for creating 'mini biological computers' in droplets

Scientists have worked out how to best get DNA to communicate with membranes in our body, paving the way for the creation of 'mini biological computers' in droplets that have potential uses in biosensing and mRNA vaccines.

Study provides the most detailed analysis of England's SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance information

The Covid-19 crisis that gripped the UK between September 2020 and June 2021 can be thought of as a series of overlapping epidemics, rather than a single event, say researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and their collaborators.

Research reveals how daily circadian rhythms help to change heart function

A new study has shown how circadian rhythms in heart cells help to change heart function over the course of the day and may explain why shift workers are more vulnerable to heart problems.

New class of CXCR4 antagonists could prevent airway inflammation and atopic dermatitis

Aberrant CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling is involved in many pathophysiological processes such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. A natural fragment of serum albumin, named EPI-X4, has previously been identified as endogenous peptide antagonist andinverse agonistof CXCR4 and is a promising compound for the development of improved analogues for the therapy of CXCR4-associated diseases.

NYU Langone Health opens an expansive care center in Bethpage

As part of its commitment to enhance access to high-quality care, NYU Langone Health has opened NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Bethpage—one of Nassau County's largest multispecialty care centers—at 185 Central Avenue.

New risk measure can better predict pandemic spread than other models

COVID-19 is not the flu. The disease caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus is more transmissible, and deadlier, than most influenza epidemics we've encountered in our lifetimes, and scientists and physicians are still learning new things about the disease and its long-term effects.

Mapping proteo-genomic connections between different human diseases

Hundreds of connections between different human diseases have been uncovered through their shared origin in our genome by an international research team led by scientists from the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, challenging the categorization of diseases by organ, symptoms, or clinical specialty.
