Key networks controlling pluripotency and apoptosis during development revealed

During the early stages of human embryonic development, a small collection of cells called human embryonic stem cells co-ordinates growth and differentiation finally giving rise to highly specialized human tissues.

Immune cell patterns can help predict kidney cancer patients' response to immunotherapy

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and UCL have found immune cell patterns within tumors that can help predict if patients with kidney cancer will respond to immunotherapy.

Research reveals proteins linked to shade avoidance

According to research, even though shade avoidance is an important survival strategy for an organism, it is problematic for farmers.

New approach to cut off cancer cells’ food supply and kill them

Inositol is a sugar required for cells to survive. Most cells either get it from the bloodstream or make it themselves. Since there is plenty of inositol available, some cancer cells decide to stop making it.

Correction of immune system's faulty timing may offer a new strategy to prevent severe COVID-19

Once an infection is under control, the body normally uses a biochemical messenger known as TGFβ to downgrade its immune response.

Consecutive irradiation with two lasers results in increased stem cell proliferation and differentiation

Stem cell therapy needs a lot of human cells, of a specific type. Shining a near-infrared laser on adult stem cells derived from human body fat, makes the stem cells replicate 54% faster.

Horse hyperimmune antibody may be an efficient approach to combat SARS-CoV-2

A study conducted by a consortium of Brazilian researchers has demonstrated that a hyperimmune serum consisting of purified antibody fragments produced in horses may be an efficient approach to combat covid-19.

Internal workings of next-word prediction models closely fit the human brain

In the past few years, artificial intelligence models of language have become very good at certain tasks. Most notably, they excel at predicting the next word in a string of text; this technology helps search engines and texting apps predict the next word you are going to type.

New insight into how neurons and astrocytes work together to form healthy synapses

Brain cells called astrocytes play a key role in helping neurons develop and function properly, but there's still a lot scientists don't understand about how astrocytes perform these important jobs.

Scientists identify genes responsible for allowing Candida fungus to survive treatment

It is estimated that 80% of women will suffer from vaginal candidiasis at least once in their lives. In addition to superficial infections, which can be oral or vaginal and do not usually have a serious prognosis, fungi of the Candida genus can cause systemic diseases in immunocompromised individuals and these are fatal in 40% of cases.

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.

Research opens new therapeutic perspectives for treatment of skin fibrosis

Collagen, the main component of the skin's extracellular matrix, can cause a pathological condition if it is in excess. Applying an electric field to the skin affects collagen pathways, temporarily reducing collagen production and increasing its degradation.
