Cryo-electron microscopy reveals structures of a muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

New research co-led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine professor is shedding light on some of the mysterious dynamics that define the interplay between nerves and muscle.

MIT researchers create a new cerebrovasculature atlas

While neurons and glial cells are by far the most numerous cells in the brain, many other types of cells play important roles. Among those are cerebrovascular cells, which form the blood vessels that deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the brain.

Mortality of newborns on ECMO linked with red blood cell transfusion volume

Newborns in respiratory failure who require the life-sustaining support of ECMO also require transfusion of red blood cells. But a new study indicates that the higher volume of these oxygen-carrying blood cells the babies receive, the higher their mortality rate.

Researchers identify a sound-sensitive mammalian protein

Salk researchers have programmed mammalian cells to be stimulated with ultrasound.

Pro-regenerative metabolite supports elevated tissue regeneration and delays aging, study reveals

Research recognizes uridine as a pro-regenerative metabolite that highlighted human stem cell activity and improved restructuring and tissue repair.

Identification of a bivalent histone-mark switch essential for angiogenesis

Defying conventional epigenomic wisdom, the non-conventional polycomb (PRC)1 variant paradoxically overwhelms the conventional PRC-mediated gene silencing in activated endothelial cells.

Tropical sea anemone stings could hold key to new pain-relieving drugs

QUT PhD researcher Lauren Ashwood has studied sea anemones' venom makeup extensively, in particular, Telmatactis stephensoni a reef-based sea anemone that can grow from 8 to 10 cm.

Flavanols enhance browning of adipose tissue by activating the sympathetic nervous system

In cold conditions, brown adipose tissue (BAT) or brown fat generates heat to keep the body warm. Compared with white adipose tissue, BAT has more mitochondria-;subcellular organelles associated with energy production-;which allows it to burn calories and produce heat by activating the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp-1).

Researchers develop artificial protein muscle that moves independently

Research carried out from the University of Freiburg’s livMatS Cluster of Excellence showed outstanding progress in creating a muscle using only natural proteins.

Study offers insight into how activated protein C may protect aging patients from reperfusion injury

A University of South Florida Health (USF Health) preclinical study offers molecular insight into how activated protein C (APC) may improve aging patients' tolerance to reperfusion injury – a potentially adverse effect of treatment for ischemic heart disease.
