Researchers create a physical wiring diagram of the human immune system

In a new study, researchers systematically mapped the surface proteins on human leukocytes to examine interactions between their cell-surface proteomes and develop a physical wiring diagram encapsulating the diversity of surface protein architectures found across all major subsets of leukocytes.

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.

Boosting vitamin D in individuals with deficiencies likely to reduce chronic inflammation

Inflammation is an essential part of the body's healing process. But when it persists, it can contribute to a wide range of complex diseases including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases.

Implantable mechanotherapeutic drug delivery platform helps overcome host immune response

Implantable devices that release insulin into the body hold promise as an alternative way to treat diabetes without insulin injections or cannula insertions. However, one obstacle that has prevented their use so far is that the immune system attacks them after implantation, forming a thick layer of scar tissue that blocks insulin release.

Modern humans did not experience an evolutionary decrease in brain size, UNLV research says

Did the 12th century B.C.E. - a time when humans were forging great empires and developing new forms of written text - coincide with an evolutionary reduction in brain size? Think again, says a UNLV-led team of researchers who refute a hypothesis that's growing increasingly popular among the science community.

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.

Wrist-wearable devices more cost-effective than electrocardiograms and pulse palpation for atrial fibrillation screening

Screening individuals for atrial fibrillation (AF) using wearable devices is more cost-effective than screening using conventional methods such as 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse palpation, or than no screening at all, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found.
