Study shows cell surface proteins in placental tissue prevent COVID-19 transmission

Scientists from the Maxwell Finland Laboratory for Infectious Diseases at Boston Medical Center have discovered properties in the placental tissue that may play a significant role in inhibiting the transmission of COVID-19 infection from a mother, who has the novel coronavirus, to her fetus.

Researchers discover the developmental process of novel immune T cells

Memory cells essentially recall formerly encountered pathogens and help respond strongly and rapidly when they are exposed to this foreign matter again.

Study: Bacterial cells from different species can combine into unique hybrid cells

Like humans, bacteria live together in communities, sometimes lending a hand -- or in the case of bacteria, a metabolite or two -- to help their neighbors thrive.

Researchers discover link between defensive responses in plants and crop parasite

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have discovered a link between defensive responses in plants and the beautiful but devastating crop parasite witchweed.

New study shows how tumor cells evade the immune system

If cancer is a series of puzzles, a new study pieces together how several of those puzzles connect to form a bigger picture.

Combined point-of-care nucleic acid and antibody test can speed up COVID-19 detection

A Cambridge hospital has piloted the use of combined rapid point-of-care nucleic acid and antibody testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection after researchers at the University of Cambridge showed that this approach was superior to virus detection alone for diagnosing COVID-19 disease.

Antibody profile differentiates non-celiac gluten sensitivity from celiac disease

A new study of the antibodies produced by people with gluten sensitivity may lead to a better way to detect the condition and treat it.

Researchers identify protein that causes adverse side effects in gastric cancer patients

Gastric cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality around the world. It is known for its potential to spread across the peritoneal cavity.

Study shows neutralizing antibodies can protect against SARS-CoV-2 virus

In May, a fishing vessel exited a port and returned with the first-ever proof that neutralizing antibodies offer protection from being re-infected by SARS-CoV-2.

New method shows promise for treating diabetes and obesity

Obesity, the leading cause of type 2 diabetes and chronic illnesses, will collectively kill more people around the world in 2020 than COVID-19 coronavirus.

New cellular pathway can protect cells from infection by Ebola virus, coronavirus

Discoveries from the Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) have identified a new cellular protection pathway that targets a common vulnerability in several different pandemic viruses, and collaborators at Case Western Reserve University, Boston University School of Medicine and MRIGlobal have shown that this pathway can protect cells from infection by Ebola virus and coronaviruses, like SARS-CoV-2.
