Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

University of Warwick research demonstrates how to engineer "cell factories" that last longer and produce more chemicals, without needing antibiotics or complex engineering methods, paving the way for ...

Researchers at the University of Granada and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York have developed a luminescent probe, called GLed, capable of measuring the activity of the immune system in real time and ...

Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 33 and 24% of participants in the ATG 2.5- and 0.5mg/kg groups, respectively, and in no participants in the placebo group. HealthDay News — Antithymocyte globulin ...

Just four days of eating junk food can disrupt memory. A high-fat, ultraprocessed diet overstimulates certain brain cells and affects how memories are processed. The hippocampus is especially ...

To undergo kidney dialysis, doctors must first surgically create an access route—an arteriovenous fistula—usually in an arm, a conduit that will accommodate hemodialysis treatments. It is a routine ...

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical functions that closely mirror those of biological ones. Building on ...

Author says findings support previous clinical trial data showing efficacy of baricitinib in preserving beta cell function in T1D.

A healthy brain maintains a harmony of neurons that excite or inhibit other neurons, but the lines between different types of cells are blurrier than researchers once thought.

The discovery could help pave the way for next-generation vaccines and immune therapiesA study published today in Nature Communications describes how ...

Sickle cell disease advocates in East Texas say raising awareness and expanding education are critical steps toward improving care and saving lives. Despite being the most common inherited blood ...

When a key protein regulator dials down DNA repair mechanisms, our cells accumulate more mutations, which may cause us to age faster ...
