Ancient Brazilian genomes may hold the secrets of treponemal evolutionary history

Study reconstructs four ancient treponeme genomes from 2,000-year-old Brazilian remains, revealing their close relation to the bejel-causing Treponema pallidum endemicum and challenging previous hypotheses about treponeme subspecies adaptability.

Johns Hopkins scientists unravel mystery of retinal cell communication

Working with mammalian retinal cells, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shown that, unlike most light-sensing cells (photoreceptors) in the retina, one special type uses two different pathways at the same time to transmit electrical "vision" signals to the brain.

Study establishes the ideal immunosuppression regimen for pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation

Currently used Food and Drug Administration-approved transplant drugs -; with the addition of an also already FDA-approved complement inhibitor -; are the optimal immunosuppression regimen for pig-to-human kidney transplants, according to a landmark discovery by University of Alabama at Birmingham investigators.

New brain pathway links reward and learning centers

New findings published in the journal Nature Neuroscience have shed light on a mysterious pathway between the reward center of the brain that is key to how we form habits, known as the basal ganglia, and another anatomically distinct region where nearly three-quarters of the brain's neurons reside and assist in motor learning, known as the cerebellum.

New global criteria for improved diagnosis of pediatric sepsis

Diagnosis of sepsis in children has been improved based on new research findings. An international research team co-led by the Luregn Schlapbach from the University and the University Children's Hospital Zurich harnessed artificial intelligence to analyze data from over 3.5 million children suffering from this life-threatening disease.
