Nanometric photodiodes can activate individual nerve cells
August 15, 2022 -- Italian researchers activated individual nerve cells with a light impulse and this targeted, noninvasive approach could be used for studies into the nervous system as well as to develop new therapies. Read More
Now metastasis can be observed with an assay
August 15, 2022 -- University College Dublin researchers have provided a new mechanism for observing cell migration with a high-throughput spheroid-based migration assay. The assay uses a tissue-mimicking, fibrillar collagen type I extracellular matrix. Read More
Monocytes, not neutrophils, are key to skin wound repair
August 15, 2022 -- New research reveals monocytes alone are capable of facilitating faster healing of skin wounds, which runs counter to previous beliefs that neutrophils and monocytes both performed that function. Read More
Plant molecule that sops up iron-rich heme could potentially be used to treat human diseases
August 12, 2022 -- A peptide used by legumes to control nitrogen-fixing bacteria may also lead to potential treatments for patients with too much heme in their blood, according to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Read More
‘Jumping gene’ affects immune system response, helps mice survive virus infections
August 11, 2022 -- Australian researchers have learned a particular transposable element, a “jumping gene,” has a profound effect on the immune response to virus infection, at least in mice. Read More
Antibodies create broad SARS immune response: study
August 11, 2022 -- Scientists from Scripps Research have discovered certain antibodies are capable of immunity against many different SARS-CoV-2 variants, as well as other SARS viruses like SARS-CoV-1. Read More
Protein key to diagnosing, treating some cancers
August 11, 2022 -- The pathway of a certain protein could lead to early diagnosis and targeted treatment of several cancers and brain disorders, according to Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland researchers. Read More
Researchers further understanding of microglia, immune cells that reside in the brain
August 10, 2022 -- Harvard University and Broad Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists have furthered the understanding of microglia, showing how these immune cells are prompted to change their state to adapt to different areas of the brain. Read More
Molecule inhibits drug-resistant bacteria in mice with pneumonia, UTIs
August 10, 2022 -- A new molecule that inhibits drug-resistant bacteria in laboratory experiments, as well as in mice with pneumonia and urinary tract infections (UTIs), has potential for treating stubborn infections in humans, according to researchers. Read More
