Study Creates Global Single-Cell Map of Human Immune System Aging

While birthday candles measure the number of years someone has lived, they don't always tell the full story about someone's health.

Epigenetic DNA Methylation Clocks Track Gradual Cellular Rejuvenation Across Fifty Days

Researchers from the University Hospital of Bonn and the University of Bonn have succeeded in dramatically rejuvenating human cells in a test tube. To do so, they directly reprogrammed red blood cell precursors into stem cells from which neurons can be derived. During this process, the molecular clocks that indicate a cell's age were reset.

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Maps Neuroblastoma Intratumoral Heterogeneity

Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor found outside of the brain in children, yet why some children respond well to treatment while others do not has remained poorly understood. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists and their collaborators built one of the most comprehensive datasets of neuroblastoma cells to date, using it to define the tumor's cell types and identify a gene signature marking a malignant cell population tied to poor prognosis.

Proteomic Profiling Uncovers Twenty-Four Plasma Proteins Tied to Gut Mucosal Inflammation

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system reacts adversely to gluten. Eating gluten causes inflammation in the gut, which can damage the intestine and impair its ability to absorb nutrients.

Ten Shared Gene Clusters Map Common Immune Response Pathways Across Diseases

Researchers have identified patterns of gene activity associated with severe COVID-19 in children that are shared with other serious respiratory infections.

Studies Redefine Lactation Biology Through Computational Multi-Omics and Mammary Metabolic Modeling

A study led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine identified shared molecular patterns in human milk that link maternal nutrition, mammary gland biology, and infant growth.

Vitalant Launches Cell-Based Analytics Lab to Support Allogeneic Therapy Developers

Vitalant, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit blood and biotherapies healthcare organizations, today announced the launch of its analytics lab at the Phoenix Bioscience Core, expanding its cell and gene therapy (CGT) analytical capabilities for developers of allogeneic cell therapies.

Placental Microenvironment Reprograms Innate Immune Cells to Prevent Inflammation

In addition to their established role in fighting pathogens, certain maternal immune cells (neutrophils) can support early placental development by supporting placental cells migrate into the uterine lining.

Novel Two-Dimensional Mapping Combines Generation Probability with Somatic Hypermutation

A research team led by Associate Professor Yohei Funakoshi, Associate Professor Kimikazu Yakushijin, and Professor Hironobu Minami of the Division of Medical Oncology/Hematology at Kobe University Hospital, together with Associate Professor Goh Ohji of the Division of Infectious Disease Therapeutics and Takaji Matsutani of Anymics Inc., has developed the pGen-SHM plot.

Engineered Biological Bandages Utilize Human Epicardial Cells for Heart Repair

Researchers have discovered a new cell type that may help regulate blood vessel growth in the heart during development and in response to injury, according to a study from Weill Cornell Medicine. Working with zebrafish, they found that the new cell type helps stabilize the vascular network that supplies oxygen to growing cardiac muscle.

Gut Bacterial Gene tnaA Converts Dietary Tryptophan Into Toxic Indole

Researchers at LMU have discovered how a metabolite produced by gut bacteria can influence brain damage after stroke.

Kupffer Cells Increase Apolipoprotein Secretion in Response to Indigestible Plastics

Microplastics appear capable of significantly impairing the function of phagocytes in the liver, at least in mice. In turn, this disrupts the metabolism of this vital organ and increases the build-up of fat inside it. These are the key findings from a joint German-Austrian study led by the University of Bonn, details of which have now been published in the journal "Nature Metabolism."

Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Malaria Using Anti-Cancer Compound Derivatives

Molecules known for their anti-cancer activity have proven effective in combating Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria.

Lifeblood, UQ and SMART CRC Pump New Life Into Lab-Grown Blood Production

Lifeblood researchers are among only a few research groups in the world who are already growing fully functional red blood cells from donor stem cells in the lab but producing them in quantities large enough for use in patients is inefficient and expensive.
