Tireless Stem Cells Drive Continuous Renewal Across High Friction Human Intestines

Digestion is hard on the cells that line the human gut, and they are constantly being shed and replaced. This renewal is driven by a population of tireless stem cells. These stem cells can both replace the various types of intestinal cells that have been lost as well as renew themselves.

Newly Identified Protein Prevents T Cells From Destroying Cancer Cells

Researchers at Mayo Clinic have identified a protein that cancer cells use to suppress the body's immune response, a finding that could support the development of new treatments to improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies.

T Cells Identify Dangerous Pathogenic Threats to Keep Bodies Healthy

Your body depends on T cells to stay healthy. These white blood cells act like a neighborhood watch in the body, helping the immune system spot threats such as viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells.

Indiana University Evaluates Nabsys Breakthrough Genome Mapping Technology

Nabsys 2.0, LLC ("Nabsys"), a pioneer in electronic genome mapping (EGM) technology, today announced a multi-year research collaboration with the Indiana University School of Medicine to develop and evaluate Electronic Genome Mapping applications for hematologic malignancies.

Structure-Guided Protein Engineering Unlocks Safer Methods for Gene Therapy

A joint research team led by Professor Daesik Kim (Department of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University), along with Professor Yong-Sub Kim (University of Ulsan College of Medicine) and Professor Jae-Hyun Park (Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine), has announced the development of 'OpenABE' (Open Adenine Base Editor).

Innovative SenMayo Gene Set Consistently Identifies Diverse Senescent Cells

A series of seven Mayo Clinic studies is helping reshape scientists' understanding of senescent, or "zombie," cells - aging cells that no longer divide but remain metabolically active and release inflammatory molecules that contribute to age-related diseases.

Dysfunctional Mitochondria Control Epigenetic Switches to Turn On Inflammatory Genes

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps aging cells drive the chronic inflammation linked to many age-related diseases.

University of Oklahoma Study Uncovers Internal Recycling System in Photoreceptors

For decades, scientists believed that photoreceptors in the retina relied primarily on neighboring support cells, known as the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), to remove waste. While the RPE is still responsible for clearing away the worn-out tips of photoreceptors each day, new findings from the University of Oklahoma reveal that photoreceptors also perform much of their own internal housekeeping.

Microneedle Patches Turn Skin Into a Window for Immune Bioanalysis

Researchers combined local restimulation of skin-resident memory T cells with hydrogel-coated microneedle patches to recruit and sample rare immune cells. In mouse models, the approach recovered more antigen-specific T cells than a blood sample or punch biopsy, while studies in humans supported short-term tolerability and proof-of-concept cell sampling.

Wearable Microneedle Sensor Enables In Vivo Bioanalysis of Cardiac Biomarkers

Researchers developed a microneedle electrochemiluminescence device that measured cardiac troponins in interstitial fluid at 30-minute intervals and detected cTnI down to 21.3 fg/mL in artificial interstitial fluid. In 15 rats and 1 pig, researchers recorded biomarker trends broadly consistent with serum ELISA results, although the wired, single-target prototype has not been tested in humans.
