Meta-scale approach to quantifying the protein variants in the human body

A key conundrum in biology is why many very simple creatures, such as the widely studied worm C. elegans, have almost as many genes as the human genome, which has about 20,000 genes.

Understanding the cellular effects of antibiotics targeting cell wall biosynthesis

It is still unclear how antibiotics work to destroy bacteria. This knowledge, however, is required for the development of new antibiotics. That is exactly what is required because bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to existing antibiotics.

Generating functional patient-specific thymic organoids from human pluripotent stem cells

Researchers have used pluripotent stem cells to make thymus organoids that support the development of patient-specific T-cells, researchers report March 23rd in the journal Stem Cell Reports.

Digital Science releases an analysis of the global research response to climate change and zoonotic diseases

Whether it's diseases from bats, birds, pigs, or mosquitoes, climate change brings with it an increased risk of animal-borne (or "zoonotic") diseases that can transmit to humans.

Common Epstein-Barr virus may be a trigger for multiple sclerosis

In 1868, French physician Jean-Martin Charcot, known as the founder of modern neurology, defined a disease entity in which multiple plaques formed in the brain and spinal cord, with varying physical symptoms, called Sclérose en plaques, or in English as multiple sclerosis (MS).

Global warming could increase the number and spread of fatal bacterial infections

Continued warming of the climate would see a rise in the number and spread of potentially fatal infections caused by bacteria found along parts of the coast of the United States.

Learning how the brain makes choices could help better understand neurological disorders

New research published by investigators at Cedars-Sinai advances scientific understanding of how the brain weighs decisions involving what people like or value, such as choosing which book to read, which restaurant to pick for lunch-;or even, which slot machine to play in a casino.

Chloride ions evoke taste sensation by binding to sweet taste receptors

Humans perceive five basic taste sensations: sweet, umami, bitter, salty, and sour. Specific foods trigger taste recognition of these sensations through the activation of different receptors in our taste buds.

Brain scans link signs of cellular aging to symptoms of Alzheimer’s

According to a new study led by Anya Topiwala of Oxford Population Health, a division of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and published on March 22nd, 2023 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE, changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer’s disease are connected to telomeres shortening, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that shorten as cells age.

RHOJ acts as a key regulator of EMT-associated resistance to chemotherapy

In spite of the ongoing development of new targeted therapies, chemotherapies remain the most popular used treatment for patients with advanced cancers. Chemotherapy resistance is one of the leading causes of cancer treatment failure and death.
