Researchers overcome NMR concentration limitation with powerful amplifier
Researchers at the University of Vienna have come up with an unconventional way toward overcoming the traditional concentration limitation for determining the structure and dynamics of proteins using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Read More
Exhausted T cells can be resurrected
Even the most exhausted T cells can be revived, according to University of Pittsburgh and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center researchers. Previously, it was thought when T cells reached a certain stage of exhaustion they were done, but a study published August 5 in Science Immunology shows that’s not the case. Read More
Ohio researchers safely harness the power of carbenes
Researchers from The Ohio State University have unveiled a new, safer method to turn carbenes into more stable molecules, which has implications for drug manufacturing. Read More
UCLA researchers receive $4M from NIH for ‘miniscope’
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) brain researchers have received a $4 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to observe neuronal activity in freely moving animals with a “miniscope.” Read More
Scientists can visualize proteins secreted by a single cell
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new method for visualizing and measuring proteins secreted by a single cell in about 30 minutes. Read More
New technique could enable production of generic CAR T cells at scale
A Boston Children’s Hospital lab has developed a new method that could make chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy more widely available using induced pluripotent stem cells to develop mature immune cells. Read More
NIH awards grants to launch experimental science rigor initiative
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded five new grants to launch an initiative designed to support education in the principles of rigorous scientific research. Read More
Exposure to cold inhibits cancer growth in mice: study
The exposure of tumor-bearing mice to cold conditions markedly inhibited the growth of various types of solid tumors, according to a new study by researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet. Read More
Spanish researchers identify protein driving melanoma malignancy
Several proteins are involved in the progression of melanoma, and one in particular, PDIA6, drives malignancy, researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona found. Read More
New technique visualizes cells less than 10 nm
A new photoswitching fingerprint analysis enables the optical imaging of dynamic interactions with other molecules in the cell. The analysis reliably allows for structural optical resolution in cells in the sub-10 nm range. Read More
