Georgetown gets $12.5M NSF award to create institute for emerging virus research
August 10, 2022 -- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Georgetown University $12.5 million to establish a collaborative institute for the advancement of research and education regarding viruses transmitted from animals to humans. Read More
AI, computer models of brain cells open door to experiments not possible in lab
August 9, 2022 -- Cedars-Sinai Medical Center researchers used artificial intelligence (AI) to create what they contend are the most realistic and complex computer models of individual brain cells to date, enabling biological experiments not currently possible in the laboratory. Read More
Researchers overcome NMR concentration limitation with powerful amplifier
August 9, 2022 -- 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
August 8, 2022 -- 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
Scientists can visualize proteins secreted by a single cell
August 8, 2022 -- 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
August 4, 2022 -- 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
Exposure to cold inhibits cancer growth in mice: study
August 4, 2022 -- 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
New technique visualizes cells less than 10 nm
August 3, 2022 -- 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
Thymus uses RNA molecules to generate list of friendly proteins that T cells should not attack
August 2, 2022 -- Research from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has identified the RNA molecules used by the human thymus organ to generate a list of friendly proteins that T cells should not attack, a discovery which may lead to improved immunotherapies and treatments for autoimmune disorders and cancer. Read More
Researchers discover what drives T cells to protect the gut
August 1, 2022 -- New research finds the barrier cells that line the intestines send messages to the patrolling T cells that reside there by expressing the HVEM protein. That signaling prompts T cells to survive longer and move more to stop potential infections. Read More
