New effective drug against flesh-eating bacteria
A new compound created by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis successfully cures bacterial infections in mice, including those that can cause [Read More…]
A discovery shows that lung repair after viral infections by a new population of macrophages
Although macrophages are widely recognized for their participation during the acute phase of respiratory viral infections, less is known about their activity during the post-inflammatory phase.
Researchers developed AI-powered detection of genetic epilepsies over current genetic diagnosis
Numerous treatments are being developed to target the genes causing the more than 100 epilepsies that have been linked to a single gene mutation.
Developing connections between neurons to maintain brain health
Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and Parkinson’s disease are among the neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the buildup of abnormal proteins.
Research identified brain circuits for placebo effect pain relief
The researchers then demonstrated that specific neurons and synapses along this pathway are highly activated when mice expect and experience pain relief, even in the absence of medication.
Genetic diagnostics identifies 34 new genetic diseases
For the best possible care, ultra-rare illnesses need both sophisticated genetic tests and diverse clinical competence.
Latest research finds mechanism for skeletal muscle regeneration
During the process of embryonic development, hundreds of specialized cells known as myoblasts fuse to become skeletal muscles.
Research promises a universal flu vaccine
Six out of eleven nonhuman primates who received an inoculation against the 1918 flu virus, which was prevalent a century ago, reportedly withstood exposure to H5N1, one of the worst viruses now circulating in the globe. On the other hand, six uninfected monkeys in the control group that were infected with the H5N1 virus died from the illness.
Discovery of bacteria that can destroy Forever Chemicals
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are another name for forever chemicals. These compounds persist in the environment because of their strong carbon-fluorine chemical interactions.
