Research: Wooden surfaces show antiviral properties
Non-enveloped viruses, such as enteroviruses connected to the common cold, can survive for weeks, sometimes even after surfaces are cleaned.
Blood Markers can detect rare forms of dementia and neurological diseases
A diagnosis of the underlying pathology is required for the development of therapies and for stratifying patients according to their disease.
An improved prime editing system can do gene-sized edits in human cells at therapeutic levels
The discovery, made in the lab of David Liu, a member of the Broad Core Institute, may one day aid in developing a single gene treatment for illnesses like cystic fibrosis.
Bone regeneration treatments could be improved by new Bioengineering research
Growth factor treatments are a potential means of assisting patients in healing by enhancing their body’s natural processes of regeneration.
A father’s diet can influence his children’s health through sperm
The researchers concentrated on unique tiny RNA molecules found in sperm that are referred to be mitochondrial tRNA fragments.
Atomic-level view in native mitochondria obtained using in situ microscopy
By combining two microscopy techniques single-particle analysis and cryo-electron tomography, or cryo-ET researchers created a unique imaging method for visualizing mitochondria from animal models.
Scientists discovered a protein that has a key role in human blood stem cell self-renewal
The first and co-corresponding author of the research, Julia Aguade Gorgorio, used sequencing data analysis to discover genes that are silenced when blood stem cells are put in a lab dish.
Cancer can be blocked by Statin therapy, which can block the inflammatory protein
The researchers discovered that a statin called pitavastatin efficiently decreases IL-33 expression by preventing the activation of the TBK1-IRF3 signalling pathway.
New therapy to prevent Antibody-Mediated-Rejection (AMR) of kidney transplant
22 patients at the University Hospital Vienna and Charité –Universitätsmedizin Berlin who were diagnosed with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) after a kidney transplant
