Researchers utilize AI to reveal hitherto unknown 3D structures in rotavirus spike protein

The three types of rotavirus that cause gastroenteritis in individuals, known as groups A, B, and C, are the most well-known and afflict predominantly youngsters.

Dietary modifications can lower symptoms of allergic reactions, a new study reveals

Micronutrient deficits can increase inflammation and make the immune system more susceptible to allergens. Iron deficiency indicates danger to immune cells and causes an excessive immunological response.

Characterizing the genetic factors impacting the immune response in type 1 diabetes

A new study performed has offered better knowledge about how genetic factors tend to impact the immune response of the body in type 1 diabetes.

Researchers developed a weapon to combat drug-resistant malaria

As the efficiency of conventional antimalarial medications deteriorates, a novel approach to combating malaria that sees the disease turn against itself could provide a viable treatment for the hundreds of millions of people affected globally every year.

Vienna researchers aim to solve a great mystery of human evolution

Using the latest scientific methods, Tom Higham and Katerina Douka from the University of Vienna want to solve a great mystery of human evolution: Why are we the only humans left? Higham and Douka were the first ones to find a first-generation offspring of two different types of human. They continuously publish new results in high impact journals, most recently in Science Advances.

Study shows how genetic database offers strong implications for chimpanzee conservation

Chimpanzees live in the savannahs and forests of tropical Africa. In contrast to the hominid sites that have been preserved to this day—mostly in caves and temperate climates—chimpanzee habitats have produced few specimens that have been preserved or discovered in the archaeological record.

Study reveals that gene variant regulates protein level to prevent blood clots in the lungs

The probability of blood clots in the lungs of very sick COVID-19 patients is influenced by a gene variant in the natural immune system. This is demonstrated in a new study published in Nature Immunology by researchers from Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet.

Researchers analyze the involvement of immune cells in lung cancer survival

Lung cancer affects approximately 48,500 persons in the United Kingdom every year. New treatments are urgently needed because only around 20% of patients live 5 years after diagnosis, and it is the leading cause of cancer death.

Drugs used for myelodysplastic syndrome could potentially activate a sleeping oncogene

Hypomethylating agents (HMA) are currently used as a first-line treatment for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) - a group of disorders where there is insufficient production of healthy mature blood cells in the bone marrow - and increasingly in other diseases, but their mechanism of action remains unclear.

Researchers develop advanced machine learning to count blood cells

The use of machine learning to do blood cell counts for illness detection rather than costly and often less reliable cell analyzer devices has proven labor-intensive, as the training of the machine learning model requires a tremendous amount of manual annotation activity by humans.

DNA "fingerprints" help scientists to track the health and whereabouts of sea turtles

DNA "fingerprints" left behind by sea turtles offer scientists a simple, powerful way of tracking the health and whereabouts of these endangered animals, a key step forward in their conservation.

Researchers devise a new treatment approach to cure aggressive brain tumors

Glioblastomas (GBMs) are cancerous tumors of the brain and spinal cord that are incredibly aggressive.

Type I interferon may activate a potent immune response against harmful viruses

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered not only how specific viral infections potentially cause tissue damage, but also how to prevent it.

Researchers create open-access atlases of human immune cells in adults

Previously unknown immune cell types throughout development and adulthood have been identified, providing new insights into how the human immune system functions.

Study shows serum-derived extracellular vesicles may help in diagnosing amyloidosis

Amyloidosis is a term used to describe a group of diseases defined by the formation of insoluble proteins called amyloids outside of cells as a result of misfolding and aggregation of soluble proteins.

12 May 2022

New technique uses genetic data that may better predict disease risk in a population

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are promising tools for forecasting disease risk, but current versions have bias built-in, which can reduce their accuracy in some populations and lead to health disparities.

10 May 2022

Study shows new potential target for CAR T cells to inhibit solid tumors

CAR T therapy, or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, has revolutionized the treatment of some blood cancers, allowing patients with relapsed or refractory disease to live longer and better lives.

Gene expression signatures in lymph node cells play an active role in lymphoma development

Researchers from the University of Tsukuba identify gene expression signatures in different types of lymph nodes cells that play an active role in the development of lymphomas.
