Breakthrough infections from SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant among vaccinated healthcare workers

A new study published on the medRxiv* preprint server employed in-silico techniques, combining genomic and epidemiological data, to determine possible Delta-variant transmission events between vaccinated healthcare workers (HCWs) in Indian hospitals.

New technique may be a significant leap forward in the understanding of human cells

Most human diseases can be traced to malfunctioning parts of a cell — a tumor is able to grow because a gene wasn't accurately translated into a particular protein or a metabolic disease arises because mitochondria aren't firing properly, for example. But to understand what parts of a cell can go wrong in a disease, scientists first need to have a complete list of parts.

Mitochondrial proteins last much longer than expected, finds study

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell, generating the energy that's needed to fuel the functions that our cells carry out.

28 Oct 2021

Protein plays a previously unknown role in halting cell cycle in response to stressful conditions

UT Southwestern researchers have identified a new mechanism by which stress causes cells to stop dividing.
