Among typical anesthetics, only isoflurane results in undisrupted memory formation in mice. Memory loss is common after general anesthesia, particularly for events occurring immediately before…
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute demonstrated for the first time that blocking “cell drinking,” or macropinocytosis, in the thick tissue surrounding a…
Scientists transform human intestinal cells into ‘mini guts’ to follow the infection process. In an effort to determine the potential for COVID-19 to begin in…
Over the last 60 years, scientists have been able to observe how and when genetic information was replicated, determining the existence of a “replication timing…
The SARS-CoV-2 virus may enter and replicate in human cells by exploiting newly-identified sequences within cell receptors, according to work from two teams of scientists….
Antibody for USAG-1 shown to stimulate tooth growth. The tooth fairy is a welcome guest for any child who has lost a tooth. Not only…
New insights into the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infections could bring better treatments for COVID-19 cases. An international team of researchers unexpectedly found that a…
Extensive X-ray screening reveals binding to key virus protein. A team of researchers, including scientists from the MPSD, has identified several candidates for drugs against…
Study linking gut bacteria to more efficient energy generation in the cells of horses paves the way for dietary supplements that enhance their performance. A…
Fusing classical epidemiology and genomics is a tool for future pandemics. Genome sequencing of thousands of SARS-CoV-2 samples shows that surges of COVID-19 cases are…
By blocking human enzyme cathepsin L, chemical inhibitor K777 reduces coronavirus’ ability to infect cell lines; clinical trials are underway. James McKerrow, MD, PhD, dean…
An ‘eat-me’ signal displayed on cell surfaces requires activation of a lipid-scrambling protein by a nuclear protein fragment. Scientists at the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material…
A Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich team has shown that slight alterations in transfer-RNA molecules (tRNAs) allow them to self-assemble into a functional unit that can…
The field test, called NIRVANA, can simultaneously detect and sequence SARS-CoV-2, influenza and other viruses. Clinicians using a new viral screening test can not only…
A team led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian has used advanced technology and analytics to map, at single-cell resolution, the cellular…
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have shown for the first time that animal DNA shed within the environment can be collected from the…
Igor Stagljar made his career building molecular tools to combat cancer. But when the pandemic hit last March, he aimed his expertise at a new…
