Studies uncover findings on antibody responses, immunity Findings from two studies add to a growing body of knowledge that is essential for guiding public health initiatives and might one day enable clinicians to assess individuals’ immunity to SARS-CoV-2, according to AACC.Read More
Research shows heart-damaging route of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein Researchers have demonstrated that the spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus can lead to heart muscle injury through the inflammation process, according to preliminary research to be presented this week at the American Heart Association’s 2022 Basic Cardiovascular Sciences Scientific Sessions.Read More
New DNA editing tool could enable more personalized cell therapies University of Minnesota, Twin Cities researchers have developed a new tool to predict and customize the rate of a type of DNA editing called site-specific recombination, offering the potential for more personalized cell therapies.Read More
Repetitive DNA linked to cancer formation in study of replication process Researchers have discovered that noncoding "junk" DNA could potentially contribute to the development of cancer. Repetitive DNA sequences can cause replication to stall, triggering a response that is similar to the one induced by DNA damage, according to a study published July 19 in Nature Communications.Read More
