Nucleai, Adlai Nortye collaborate on biomarkers for clinical trials May 31, 2023 -- Artificial intelligence firm Nucleai and biopharmaceutical firm Adlai Nortye on Wednesday announced a strategic partnership aimed at identifying, validating, and testing novel H&E-based biomarkers in Adlai Nortye’s phases II and III clinical trials.Read More
Scientists seek HIV cure by transplanting stem cells to monkeys May 25, 2023 -- Scientists are seeking a cure for HIV via stem cell transplants on monkeys. Their research, published Thursday in the journal Immunity, describes the process by which two of four non-human primates were cured of HIV following stem cell transplantation.Read More
Chemical compound stimulates nerve regeneration, protects heart tissue May 24, 2023 -- Researchers have identified a compound that can stimulate nerve regeneration after injury, as well as protect cardiac tissue from the type of damage seen in heart attacks. The study, published Wednesday in Nature, identified a chemical compound called 1938, which activates the signaling pathway of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), an enzyme that helps control cell growth.Read More
New antibiotic targets deadly hospital superbug May 25, 2023 -- Scientists used artificial intelligence (AI) to discover a promising antibiotic that may help doctors target Acinetobacter baumannii, a deadly, drug-resistant pathogen that often strikes vulnerable hospital patients. The study, published Thursday in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, identified the antibacterial compound abaucin in response to the urgent need for new ways to treat A. baumannii infection.Read More
Gene editing tool may reduce antimicrobial resistance spread May 26, 2023 -- A tool that could help reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance shows early promise. In an article published Thursday in Microbiology, researchers describe the use of CRISPR technology to eliminate resistance in a wide range of bacteria.Read More
Scientists create cell atlas of developing human lung December 9, 2022 -- Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute, the Gordone Institute at the University of Cambridge, and collaborators have created a spatiotemporal cell atlas of the developing human lung. From the mapping, they have identified 144 cell states in the early stages of life and their interactions in new detail.Read More
Senescent neuron discovery in brains opens path for Alzheimer's drug development December 2, 2022 -- Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have found that neurons from people with Alzheimer's disease show deterioration and undergo a late-life stress process called cellular senescence, while senescent cells could be a way to slow neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.Read More
