How can we map the human genetic architecture of COVID-19 across all ancestry groups?

In a new study, researchers formed the COVID-19 host genetics initiative to compile a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 60 studies from 25 countries.

Terminally exhausted T cells may remain competent for transcription, researchers say

During a battle with cancer, T cells can become exhausted and are no longer able to function properly. The early phase of exhaustion can sometimes be reversed with immunotherapy drugs, but once T cells become too exhausted, it had been thought that this state was irreversible. However, new insights from University of Pittsburgh and UPMC researchers suggest that even the most fatigued T cells can be revived.

Researchers challenge a popular scenario put forward to explain the arrival of the first eukaryotic organisms

In the beginning, there was boredom. Following the emergence of cellular life on earth, some 3.5 billion years ago, simple cells lacking a nucleus and other detailed internal structure dominated the planet. Matters would remain largely unchanged in terms of evolutionary development in these so-called prokaryotic cells - the bacteria and archaea - for another billion and a half years.

Optically controlled local heat-pulse method manipulates temperature in cells

A team of researchers led by Osaka University finds that mutant variants of the calcium channel protein RyR1 are hypersensitive to heat, which creates a positive feedback loop of calcium release and leads to malignant hyperthermia

Study sheds light on the pathogenic brain mechanisms associated with evolution of anxiety

Monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine play important roles in our cognitive and emotional functions.

Gut microbiota-derived metabolites offer protection against SARS-CoV-2

A new study investigated how the gut microbiome confers immunity to mammalian hosts against SARS-CoV-2 intranasal infection by generating short-chain fatty acids.

Baboons at Amboseli offer clues to the costs of the hybridization, study says

New genetic analyses of wild baboons in southern Kenya reveals that most of them carry traces of hybridization in their DNA. As a result of interbreeding, about a third of their genetic makeup consists of genes from another, closely-related species.

Research highlights the crucial role of other living primates as models for understanding human evolution

A new study based in Africa reveals hidden selection against interspecies breeding in wild baboon species in a strikingly similar way to what has been described for archaic hominins. The findings, based on coupled genomic and long-term field data, highlight the crucial role of other living primates as models for understanding human evolution, particularly for phenomena that are impossible to study in our lineage alone.

Study provides new insight into the cellular and molecular biology of human heart failure

Studying heart samples from patients with cardiomyopathies, as well as from controls without heart disease, researchers have provided new insights into the cellular and molecular biology of human heart failure – a highly fatal condition that affects 23 million people worldwide.
