Oct. 23, 2020 — New research details how a cell-free test rapidly detects COVID-19 neutralizing antibodies and could aid in vaccine testing and drug discovery ...
Oct. 22, 2020 — A gut hormone, ghrelin, is a key regulator of new nerve cells in the adult brain, a research team has discovered. It could help pave the way for new drugs to treat dementia in patients with ...
Oct. 22, 2020 — Researchers have developed a novel approach based on microfluidic technology to 'purify' the immune cells of patients in the fight against ...
Oct. 20, 2020 — A new study has revealed that a key blood marker of cancer could be used to select the most effective treatment for ...
Oct. 19, 2020 — Children who are later diagnosed with autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder visit doctors and hospitals more often in their first year of life than non-affected children, suggesting ...
Oct. 16, 2020 — Multidrug resistance (MDR) -- a process in which tumors become resistant to multiple medicines -- is the main cause of failure of cancer chemotherapy. Tumor cells often acquire MDR by boosting their ...
Oct. 15, 2020 — More than 20 million people in the U.S. suffer neuropathic pain. At least 25% of those cases are classified as unexplained and considered cryptogenic sensory polyneuropathy (CSPN). There is no ...
Oct. 15, 2020 — A rapid and simple method for testing the efficacy of antibacterial drugs on infectious microbes has been developed and ...
Oct. 15, 2020 — Using a machine-learning approach that incorporates uncertainty, researchers identified several promising compounds that target a protein required for the survival of the bacteria that cause ...
Oct. 15, 2020 — A new study identifies drug targets common to all three coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV) and potential drugs that could be repurposed as COVID-19 treatments. Researchers suggest ...
Oct. 15, 2020 — Researchers have discovered a novel antiviral strategy for treatment of COVID-19 using existing ...
Oct. 14, 2020 — The first systematic review of how the severity of infectious diseases changes with age suggests that the human immune system might start to lose the ability to protect against infections earlier ...
Oct. 14, 2020 — Researchers have unraveled potential mechanisms behind the healing power of extracellular vesicles and demonstrated their capacity to not only revive cells after a heart attack but keep cells ...
Oct. 14, 2020 — Researchers found that a drug that activates the body's natural defenses by behaving like a virus may also make certain stealthy melanoma tumors visible to the immune system, allowing them to be ...
Oct. 14, 2020 — Researchers have tested alternative ways to measure COVID-19 antibody levels, resulting in a process that is faster, easier and less expensive to use on a large scale. Their method holds promise for ...
Oct. 14, 2020 — Researchers have cultured so-called intestinal organoids from human intestinal tissue, which is a common byproduct when performing bowel surgery. These small 'miniature intestines' can be ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — To make organoids grow faster, give them a squeeze, suggests a new study, which finds compressing cells, and crowding their contents, can coax them to grow and divide. The results may lead to faster ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Differences in the microstructure of the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), a region in the brain that plays an important role in processing food and other reward stimuli, predict increases in indicators of ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — A bacterial toxin promoting tissue healing has been discovered. The compound, found in Staphylococcus aureus, does not just damage cells, but also stimulates tissue ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — A new study examining effects of low-level developmental lead exposure in mice could explain why some people dependent on alcohol return to ...
