Experts use photothermal nanofibers for the safe engineering of therapeutic cells

Ghent University’s concentrated on a technique for the safe engineering of therapeutic cells with photothermal nanofibers for the past decade.

Scientists create first artificial scaffolds that can support the growth of plants cells

As a baby seedling emerges from the depths of the soil, it faces a challenge: gravity's downward push. To succeed, the plant must sense the force, then push upward with an even greater force. Visible growth is proof that the seedling has won against the force of gravity.

Mitochondrial inner membrane fusion protein acts as a molecular chaperone

Cells contain numerous functional “micro-organs” known as organelles. Mitochondria, the “power plant” of the cell, are the energy-producing organelles.

Stem cell therapy for heart disease enhanced with protein from fetal heart

The human heart, upon aging, slowly loses its capability to repair itself after injury. Damage caused by injuries like heart attack and cardiac ischemia—linked to decreased oxygen levels in the heart—can result in below normal capacity of heart functioning, making it tough for the patients to carry out daily activities.

Cell-free DNA employed to identify measurable residual disease

Researchers demonstrated that cell-free DNA from CSF could be employed to examine MRD in children treated for the brain tumor medulloblastoma.

Major climate changes could have dramatic consequences for microorganisms

Researchers have long presumed that microorganisms were not much influenced by climatic changes compared to plants and animals.

'Mini brains' allow researchers to study a fatal, untreatable neurological disorder

Cambridge researchers have developed 'mini brains' that allow them to study a fatal and untreatable neurological disorder causing paralysis and dementia – and for the first time have been able to grow these for almost a year.

Targeted drug shows promise against brain metastases from kidney cancer

A targeted drug has shown promising activity against brain metastases resulting from kidney cancer, achieving a 50 percent response rate, and supporting further studies of the drug in this patient group whose poor prognosis has created a significant unmet need.

How do large proteins and drugs cross a cell membrane?

Researchers have been wondering for several decades how molecules like proteins travel through cell walls, also called plasma membranes, without any trace.

Viral diseases likely to contribute to neurodegeneration, says study

Scientists from DZNE revealed that certain viral diseases can contribute to neurodegeneration.

Mitochondria of diabetic patients can't keep track of time, study finds

Almost all cells regulate their biological processes over a 24-hour period, otherwise called a cell's circadian rhythm. To do so, cells use a biological clock that cycles different genes on and off throughout the day and night.

Researchers reveal how bacteria make liquid protein droplets to survive harsh environments

Scientists have revealed how bacteria make tiny liquid droplets from proteins to help them survive harsh environments and thus reduce their chances of being killed by antibiotics.

Identification of genetic variant provides a big step for precision medicine in dialysis

Every day, the human kidneys clean about 1,500 liters of blood by producing approximately 1–2 liters of urine. Thereby, the body gets rid of excess water and toxic waste products of the metabolism or also drugs and maintains the balance of water and minerals in the tissues.

New biomarker can help characterize specific types of asthma and COPD

Rutgers researchers have discovered that people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have a protein in their lungs that leaks a small molecule into their bloodstream that restricts their breathing instead of relaxing their airways.
