Small Vesicles Originating From Intestinal Bacteria Have an Adverse Effect on the Liver

Researchers from Niigata University and Kyoto Prefectural University have revealed that small vesicles, around 100 nm in size, released by intestinal bacteria induce immune activation and progression of liver cirrhosis, as well as reduction of serum albumin level, subsequently leading to edema and ascites.

Two Molecular Mechanisms Combine to Make the Bacterium Extra Resistant

When the intestinal flora is killed by antibiotics, a species of ordinary gut bacteria that humans carry flourishes. Because the bacteria are naturally immune to many drugs, it poses complications, especially in healthcare settings.

Study Provides Increased Understanding of How Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Behaves in the Brain

The dreaded tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus infects different types of brain cells in different parts of the brain, depending on whether the affected person's immune system is activated or not.

Study Provides Insight into the Formation of Protective Memory T Cells Against Salmonella

Salmonella infections cause about a million deaths a year worldwide, and there is an urgent need for better vaccines for both typhoid fever and non-typhoidal Salmonella disease.

Research Identifies Protective Drugs that may Lessen the Collateral Damage Caused by Antibiotics

Antibiotics help to fight bacterial infections, but they can also harm the helpful microbes living in the gut, which can have long-lasting health consequences.

Identifying Lung Cancer Patients Who May Not Respond Well to Immunotherapy by MYC Gene Activation

Lung cancer patients who may not react well to immunotherapy (ICB) could be identified by the oncogenic activation of MYC, an important gene in the development of cancer.

Rapid Metagenomics: A Powerful Tool for the Diagnosis of Pathogenic Organisms

According to recent research presented at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Copenhagen, Denmark, metagenomic sequencing can also provide quick and actionable antimicrobial resistance predictions to treat bloodstream infections much faster than traditional laboratory tests and has the potential to save lives and help manage antibiotic use (15–18 April 2023).

Immune System's B Cells Use Tugging Forces to Pull Antigens Off Other Cells' Surfaces

Most cells evolve slowly, accumulating incremental changes that better suit their environments. Immune cells, because they must adapt rapidly to counter new threats, evolve much more quickly.

Microbial Drought Resistance Could Result in Soil Carbon Losses

Soil stores more carbon than plants and the atmosphere combined, and soil microbes are largely responsible for putting it there.

A Nanoplasmonics Approach to Observe Real-Time Production of Cell Secretions

Researchers at the University of Geneva have developed a novel optical imaging approach that provides a four-dimensional view of cell secretions in real-time, including their spatial and temporal dynamics.

Potential Therapy for Lethal Pediatric Brain Cancer Using ASO Technology

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a lethal pediatric brain cancer that often kills within a year of diagnosis. Surgery is almost impossible because of the tumors' location.

Organoid Platform Could Help Reduce the Time for Developing New Conjugate Vaccines

Developing and testing new treatments or vaccines for humans almost always requires animal trials, but these experiments can sometimes take years to complete and can raise ethical concerns about the animals' treatment.

New Method for Improving Gene Therapy With Nanobubbles

Beyond vaccines, mRNA offers immense potential to fight disease, but targeting the genetic material to specific diseased cells is challenging-; requiring a new method.

Scientists Illuminate the Mechanism that Raises and Lowers PSMA Expression in Prostate Cancer

Like the better-known prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a biomarker that can tell physicians much about a patient's metastatic prostate cancer.

11 Apr 2023

A New, Cost-Effective Therapy to Treat a Wide Range of Cancers

A potential immunotherapy method for treating metastatic melanoma is adoptive cell therapy (ACT). The method, which utilizes the use of immune cells extracted from the patient’s own tumors, could offer cancer patients new options for treatment by eschewing radiation therapies and harsh chemotherapy drugs.
