Human genome may explain the neonatal origins of chronic immune and inflammatory diseases

A study published in the journal Nature Communications has pinpointed a number of areas of the human genome that may help explain the neonatal origins of chronic immune and inflammatory diseases of later life, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and coeliac disease.

Study: Mosquitoes species are attracted and repelled by light at different times of day

In a new study, researchers found that night- versus day-biting species of mosquitoes are behaviorally attracted and repelled by different colors of light at different times of day.

Simultaneous mutation of two nonessential genes can cause cancer cell death

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a new instance in which the simultaneous mutation of two nonessential genes-;neither of which is on its own vital to cell survival-;can cause cancer cell death.

Researchers identify a miRNA that could promote hair regeneration

Researchers from North Carolina State University have identified a microRNA (miRNA) that could promote hair regeneration.

New strategy may help guard beta cells, slow the onset of type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes occurs when a person's own immune system destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. In recent years, scientists have learned how to grow large volumes of replacement beta cells, but the researchers are still trying out many options to protect these cells against the immune attack.

Novel label-free imaging method can differentiate active T cells from those off duty

T cells are the immune soldiers at the frontlines of the battle with infiltrating pathogens that seek to cause disease. A new study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering describes a novel label-free imaging technique that can differentiate active T cells from those off duty.

Population screening has potential to identify individuals at risk for inherited genetic conditions

In a new study published today in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers behind the Healthy Nevada Project® suggest that community-based genetic screening has the potential to efficiently identify individuals who may be at increased risk for three common inherited genetic conditions known to cause several forms of cancer and increased risk for heart disease or stroke.

EBV viral genome alters the host epigenetic landscape to drive stomach cancer

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), one of the most common human viruses, is associated with about 8-10 per cent of stomach -- or gastric -- cancers, the third leading cause of cancer death globally.

Low-cost, environmentally-friendly hand sanitizer produced from plant and paper waste

A Tel Aviv University breakthrough allows, for the first time, a local production of ethanol -- and hand sanitizer -- based on plant and paper waste, using a novel lignin (a substance found in plants) degradation process.

Study provides insight into evolution of amyloid-β oligomer with temporary salt crystals

Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia worldwide and a major cause of disability. Now, researchers at Osaka University and Hokkaido University have shown that repeated precipitation-dissolution events of salt crystals do occur even at low salt concentrations in nanoscales, and that it can accelerate the aggregation of the neurotoxic amyloid-β peptides implicated in its pathogenesis.

Cancers caused by bacterial toxin might be preventable

Studying DNA mutations in cancers can help clarify how cancers develop and what makes cancer cells different from normal, healthy cells.

Study provides new insights into the host cellular response to SARS-CoV-2 infection

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the new coronavirus has created an unprecedented public health challenge globally. Little was known about how the infecting cells respond to the virus and how the virus hijacks the host cellular machinery.

Continuous survival of neurons is intrinsically programmed during development

When our neurons -- the principle cells of the brain -- die, so do we.Most neurons are created during embryonic development and have no "backup" after birth. Researchers have generally believed that their survival is determined nearly extrinsically, or by outside forces, such as the tissues and cells that neurons supply with nerve cells.

Researchers use new approach to unravel the mechanisms that lie behind tetraploidy

Cell division is a fundamental process that organisms need to reproduce, grow, and make repairs. But when an error disrupts this complex biological process, cellular abnormalities can lead to diseases, such as cancer, where cells are enabled to grow and divide out of control.
